All at Sea

A Poem

All at Sea

Are you and me

No longer us

Just I, not we

All at sea

It was them or me

I didn’t fit

You didn’t see

All at sea

I’ wasn't me

Did what was

Expected of ‘she’

All at sea

I couldn't breath

You held your grip

You stifled me

All at sea

The wounds ran deep

And then with her

You laughed at me

All at sea

She made you see

That you were for her

And not for me

All at sea

There's no more ‘he’

Just empty dreams

An empty me

All at sea

I'm floating free

The tide has turned

It’s time to find me
