Fishing

This is e metaphor, if you didn't notice

fishing

fishing alone

fishing alone, cold

fishing for anything

a fish, shoe, rock, grain of salt

Because when you were once filled up with the light and brightness of another person, when you let them complete you, when you open up your heart and legs as wide as they go and become vulnerable, you become addicted. Addicted to the love or the lies, the genuine concern or the sex. That person becomes the needles that you inject into yourself, you hand that person ever capability to hurt you and you fall in love with that feeling.

then they leave.

because sometimes time enslaves people

and they move with it

one day itll be a month since you've last seen the person you love

and their light will grow dimmer inside of you

you will fight and struggle for any ounce of them

but your heart will grow weary

youll be left beside the fishing hole

sitting against ice and rock

with empty needles and hookless poles

fishing

fishing alone

Fishing alone. I like the thoughts and places you took me.
"then they leave.
because sometimes time enslaves people
and they move with it"
The above made the poem solid. You left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The frivolous out of the way Line 13 it will?

This writing has a nice spring and bounce to it and it is going all bubbly until it completely transforms it's meaning I guess from fishing to capturing and then to possess and then to hurt which is one shock to the system when reading. and then it returns to the primal image but in a different form .

It left me thinking "Follow Me, and I Will Make You Fishers of Men"

Thankyou
