Cast Away

My life, I saw, just cast away,
all drowned with moments word.
Waves of screams crashed, in my mind,
lost feelings crested, heard.

Remembering, years worth of tears,
Racked body with neglect.
Touching, nil, the kiss of death
Reigned ill with his "reflect".

"Only words", as thoughts would rise
explaining, not forthwith.
Five years, he lied...or so he says
had believed it all, my myth.

Loved me, no it wasn't I...
who caused his suffering, pain.
Lies collected, now insured
from loving, I'll abstain.

Yes waters, deepened, in cast away,
floating, rescue awaits...
Flooded thoughts, give rising to
what loneliness dictates........


~Wynter

The last two lines are a real stinger. Alot of heart ache and emotion in this poem, very well written. Take care, thanks for sharing.

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong
inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode

thank you Brian...I happened  to have seen Cast Away last night with Tom Hanks and I was recalling one of the first  dates I had with my husband when I was pushed into deep waters, and  didn't know how to swim and he, being a lifeguard, saved me from drowning..and how  the cycle is repeating itself...only this time he is the one holding me under....
