The Sea

The title is lacking...I know. I just don't know what else to call it at the moment. It's not my best work...but it's how I feel...and lately, I have a difficult time putting those feelings down on paper...thanks for reading, at any rate.

 I wish someone would throw me a life line.

I need a sense of purpose.

At least with the whips and chains of my past,

I knew my place, my boundaries, my reward.

Someone please make a man out of me

so I can show myself what I’m doing wrong.

So I can see just how stupid I must look to him…

loving him too fiercely…wanting him relentlessly…

begging him to want me too.

I need a drink

from the fountain of who’s to blame

with a twist of shut up girl, you’re not making any sense.

Someone please! Throw me a lifeline…

or let me drown in his half-interested, overly cautious,

too tired for sex, been burned before, sea of unrequited love.

That was quite intense... we always want to see ourselves through the eyes of the one we love in hopes of figuring out why they don't want us...

really great lines here but the whole thing is powerful in its emotional plea.
