The Island

I fell in love with an island.

He was as rough as the seas,

Mightier than the wind,

Hot as the sun,

As dark as day and night combined.

I fell in love with a man whose love was like a river,

His soul as hollow as seashells,

But he didn’t love me.

He dropped me in his river and I nearly drowned.

He rocked me with his shells.

He couldn’t love me.

Yet last night;

He did….

And left me alone; wandering; isolated.

But I loved him. Stay safe….

My tin soldier.
