I failed one to many,
I failed you,
I failed me,
I failed too many,

Going line by line,
Following reasons and rhymes,
Shrines and canines,
They all sing the hymn,
I failed one to many,

Stumbled and sliced,
and I'm still not steady,
Sailing in clouds of fog,
I've missed my own boat
I've failed one to many,

Walked past the signs,
Those that dipped in sunsets
led to smiles,
Etched dreams like Neanderthals schemes,
Thought a heart was all that I need,
But I failed one to many times.

Fell into shrines and canines,
Missed the winds that held goodbyes,
I dipped and I dipped till I felt afloat.
Yet with every step,
I still feel I've missed a boat,
A way back to something called home,

I have failed one to many times,
I've failed you,
I've failed me.

I've sailed the boat that won my tales of fails too many times.
