Requiem for a Marriage Pt. 2: A Selection of Poems

SHIPWRECK

Alone set adrift I’m dying 
For one last taste of your rage

The sun burns like hot regret 
Your stare stripping my skin

Beckoned by an innocent island 
In search of forced salvation

My raft breaks in the shallows 
I’m stranded here now

Looking out to the horizon 
I can’t help but wonder

Where you are now
