The Island

The distance was incredible.

The waves I endured; astonishing.

Several times I drowned, it seemed.

But it only seemed.

Because I was still alive,

Breathing.

The distance was incredible.

The island of horror not even visible.

A place full of stale emotions, stale memories.

Of love.

The love for a monster.

I encountered a tidal wave the other night.

It brought me back to a life;

A life of agony and suffering.

Pain, stress, misery.

I’m trapped.

I need to escape; be set free.

Free.

Hello dangerous waters,

I’m ready for round two.

Free.

Amazing! This poem makes me think of an abusive relationship, especially when you say:

"The island of horror not even visible.
A place full of stale emotions, stale memories.
Of love.
The love for a monster.
I encountered a tidal wave the other night.
It brought me back to a life;
A life of agony and suffering.
Pain, stress, misery."

Simply wonderful! Well done!
