Deep Sea Fishing

Every Thursday, I will post a poem I previously wrote in honor of #TBT.
This one was written on 6/15/11.


He went into the deep end and they jumped in to save him
They forgot that we were still standing on the shore
We got hit with the backlash, everything that came last
'Cause their only objective was to reel him back in
So I built a sandcastle and locked the door
Threw away the key and shut down my heart.
There was no one who cared anymore
So why waste the energy to operate that mass of muscle
Even in the summer sun, there were icicles forming, encasing my heart
And they wonder why my voice dripped with disgust when I was forced to talk to them
They chose him over me because he was the bad one
But see, I'm here to tell you that independent doesn't mean 'needs no love'
That castle couldn't block them out enough
So I buried myself in the sand like an ostrich hoping to camouflage with my surroundings
But that wasn't necessary 'cause they could no longer see me
Blinded by his misdirection
I was left out in the cold once again
Trying to protect myself from this sea wind
But I could only wrap my arms so far around myself
I needed that nurturing love
But he went of the deep end and they jumped in to save him....
