I AM A SHIP THAT HAS BEEN CUT ADRIFT

I am a ship that has been cut adrift.
My cargo has abandoned me,
my compass doesn't work,
and my port doesn't exist anymore.

The night is dark,-
but the waves have no quarrel
with a hull so strong,
and the lightning flashes only gently in the distance.

I have come to find
that Storms are not the only quandry
that ships can face at sea.
the blackness of the night
with no end in sight
can prove to be its own adversary.

Where do I go from here?
Life seems meaningless, like there is no point without Katie (to saving the world or anything else)
