Cast Away

Loving you

was much like leaving

the safe port

I called home-

excited to voyage out

into stormy seas.

Flimsy sails

fearlessly hoisted,

my young heart

foolishly

embarked, journeying into

uncharted waters.

My vessel

was no match for your

wild winds,

your love came

with the cruelest conditions-

your waves wore me down.

Loving you

left me lost- adrift

in oceans

vast and cold,

my shipwrecked soul sank

‘til light was no more.
