Leaving You Once Again (Revised)

I have witnessed many having to say goodbye.
The ships begin to arrive at the dock.
The horns begin to toot, sounding off
To inform passengers that they are
To depart soon. With the anchors dropped,
Everyone prepares themselves for this journey.
Such a hefty wound, it carries in one’s heart.
Sometimes, words are unnecessary to communicate
The unseen messages and bond.
A wounded heart, lost at sea
Will surely be reunited with its other, someday.
As much as I hate to say it:
I’m leaving you once again.

Ride um

Ropes and rashes

Maybe he’ll jump

Watch out for the horn

This one’s got a hump

 

Buck, buck, buck

Cowboys going for it 

Hang on, hang on

Eight seconds with luck

 

Tape and gauze

Bandaids and bandages 

Alcohol and spit

Rub it in, we gotta get 

 

The next big show

Is coming up 

It’ll be better in a week 

For your arm and seat

 

Another buckle 

another show 

Maybe make some money 

On the next go
