    For you

     Lost on the open sea
    bound and chained by fire,
    I will give my all for you.
    Battered and bruised
    wasted and used,
    I will fight with all my
    might for you.
    Innocence lost, courage fades
    replaced with a rocky future
    yet I still risk my heart with you.
    I can't win, I can't lose you are
    a paralyzing affliction,
    and I can't turn you loose.

    I love the wording and the imagery. We have all fought for a love that seems elusive in some way. In our reach and yet out of our reach, giving time and energy to a love not necessarily meant to be. Great write! I feel the conflict and emotion through the words...............E

    I was just writing from a place of honesty because sometimes love makes you go places you never imagined.

    thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my poem.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
