My heart sank
like the Titanic
into the cold
never to see
the world above again.
Plunging nose down
toward the dark unknown
of which only
grains of sand
know the tall tales
that the waves whisper
to them in the deep.
With a split
straight down the side
and a tare
right down the middle
it is venerable
to the thousand piercing knives
that the stiff water
embellishes them with.
All becomes frigid as
metal in the wintertime
when raw hands grasp it.
Silently the swells
roll in and suck you down
with the tip
going out of view
and the ocean's stomach is full
with its midnight snack.
The boat sinks into death
as my heart sinks
into love.

First I just found out the guy I like likes me too and then I watched The Titanic.. odd mix of emotions for that day..
