## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

This poem explores themes of loneliness and despair when faced with a dark fate.

Cheek in the ground, ashes to ashes
Splintered life most lived in flashes
Body’s weight to ground smashes
Red ink on frail body splashes
Wane light despair squashes
Hands clasped, it is not over

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Cheek in the ground, ashes to ashes
Splintered life mostly lived in flashes
The body’s weight to the ground smashes
red ink on a frail body splashes
Wane blinking light the despair squashes
Hands clasped tightly, it is not over

[Verse]
Time may stretch elsewhere yet here it shrinks
Yearning to reach the forever’s brinks
from a myriad of missing links
Living is but a few stolen winks
The captain with his boat always sinks
though sailor’s hope will ever hover

[Chorus]
Though sailor’s hope will ever hover
mermaids weakness through songs uncover
Destiny is but fickle cover
In the beginning time was lover
Hands clasped tightly, it is not over
Hills and mountains will find me rover

[Verse]
Gather with me many a loose hair
As whirlwinds collect me more despair
Stranded within this dark empty lair
sullen minds a heavy soul impair
so expect not a fate to be fair
Destiny is but fickle cover

[Verse]
Autumn renewed face rosy to flaunt
Summer a shade of yellow did haunt
Spring silent witnessed a cheek so gaunt
Winter in two minds would my mind taunt
Yielding me everything I could want
In the beginning time was lover

[Chorus]
Though sailor’s hope will ever hover
mermaids weakness through songs uncover
Destiny is but fickle cover
In the beginning time was lover
Hands clasped tightly, it is not over
Hills and mountains will find me rover
