I keep finding myself stranded
She always has her way
She asks me to believe her
I am unwilling to disobey
…
She is dancing with her words
She never forgets a step
Awed by her performance
Can’t help but clap
…
I wish I had a grip over my mind
Wouldn’t it have been easier then
If I could act out my thoughts
Like I plan?
…
She loves to play with my smile
Long lost at the shore
Drowning in her toxic waters
Can’t save myself anymore
…
She loves to play with my skin
Long lost at the sea
She pretends to love me
Like a tragic mystery
…
I wish I had a grip over my heart
Wouldn’t it have been easier then
If I could act out my thoughts
Like I plan?
…
She blames me for all the things
That I may have never done
I am trying to see right through
Mirrors and everyone
…
Now she’s back in her sphere
And I’m standing on the edge
I swear I’d never call out her name
She never buys my pledge
…
I wish I had a grip over my mind
Wouldn’t it have been easier to find
That all that I do now
Would eventually end somehow?
Beautiful imagery in this, felt like I was watching an old home video of a woman dancing in the wet sand on the beach on a cloudy day. Some really nice rhythm as well.

The title of this poem
Is sometimes how I feel
Beached, stranded, like a ship
With a barnacle covered keel.
The pirates are long gone now
Their stolen goods are too
And I am here, quite rudderless
And without a clue
No treasure map to guide me
Nor hands to sail my boat
A vague idea of north I have,
But not how to get afloat.
The ship’s ribs are poking through now,
And I’ve been here too long,
Lost and lonely, looking out,
Wondering what I had done wrong.

I skimmed over the first two stanzas, barely reading them because I get bored with poetry sometimes – which is ironic because I write it myself…AND…I found the comments and people were amazed, so I went back and read your poem. And I read it again. And I looked at every stanza and kind of freaked out because I thought these words were written by someone I knew, about the insecurities in a new relationship, about when you’re falling and they just aren’t and it hurts…But your name is Frank. Your poem is relevant, and I see why people like it. For the unrequited lover, it expresses their feelings…For the beloved who cares, who just isn’t at that level, who is trying so hard but is still less in love than the lover, it shows them the pain of the encounter, the pain they cause, which they may or may not realize they are causing.
I’m sure it expresses much more, and I quite possibly could have interpreted wrong, and was definitely projecting my own emotions into it…But there was something. Thank you for writing.
