The Ship of Broken Dreams
Come aboard the ship, the ship of broken dreams,
All you need is yourself and a couple little things,
A pocketfull of misery, bursting at the seams,
A suitcase filled to the brim with your worst bad dreams,
A pocketwatch that tells no time,
It only shows the hours that haven't gone by,
A confidence that runs and hides,
A smile that masks the pain inside,
Open eyes that do not see,
A silver lock that has no key,
Behind you drags a trail of chain,
Linked together by rage and pain,
So climb aboard, we'll take you in,
On the ship of broken dreams, we'll teach you how to swim

A/N: Oddly, I came up with this after a friend played around with the lyrics for Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance. She switched it so it was "And I see you lying next to me! On the ship of broken dreams!" Cracked me up a bit at the time, but then I started to form a poem around it, and voila!
