Set a Drift

[kittypaws]

My heart is buried in a sea of tears

My life blood races out of me,

I am struggling to be.

Searching for what was;

Many deep feelings

lost and frayed

Never to be reclaimed.

My ocean boils with contempt

Of all the promises that were left

Drifting within an empty vessel.

Wave after wave washing over me

Each one different, but all the same.

Losing my mind along with my soul,

Is there nothing left for this spirit

To bring life back into it?

Perhaps the light from the off shore home

Where once my love flamed.

Now washed up upon the rocky shore,

Never more, never more.

Crushed, defeated, waste upon the sand

To be washed out in the waves of today

And reborn in the rise of tomorrow.

Immensely thoughful piece, with a hint of anger and despair but tempered by hope right at the end.

Kitty, I don't know how I missed this one, but it's really nice. A measured anger, with a burst of life at the end, and lovely sentence structure. Well done!!

This is very nicely written with the sadness, but then stopping to think where could happiness be, leaving the reader with hope.

[kittypaws]

Thank you, D.

funny, I didn't really think too much about this as I wrote cuz it came straight from my feelings and heart.

"To be washed out in the waves of today

I enjoyed this Kittypaws, the despair, anger, pain, is there through out, then it seems you stop to think, but does it have to stay this way? You go on to look for a place where you might find happiness or contentment and for that, it seems you return to the shore, but with these last lines are accepting of what you feel; the waves wash out today and reborn (or again) tomorrow; or, with hope that tomorrow the reborn will not be the same day/wave/pain reborn but a change of what appears to currently be your circumstance.

I enjoyed this very much.
