24/7

You are captain
of this ship I engine

This boat moves
because I move it

You steer
me clear
of danger

Navigate the ice
and the rocks

Guide me safely home
Guide me safely home

I write good morning love
she responds the same

it's amazing all the same

You take what you can get on days like
today

4 on 4 off
like a work schedule

not on my side dear

this is a 7 day a week gig
this is a never ending
unconditional
irrational
desperate love

sadly the hope I have in her will
only make her hurt

So I'll hurt

tuck this away
inside the breast pocket
of my fanciest coat

I'm no savior

just a man committed to her smile
and all the ways I've learned to make
that happen
