Driftwood Floating Out At Sea

Driftwood floating out at sea,
This my love, you've done to me.
No land in sight, no brief respite,
Adrift, afloat, now - endlessly,
Tossed aside so carelessly.

You took me there in the dark of night,
Hours and hours, it felt so right.
Molded, shaped, formed and sculpted,
You did all that, and made me yours;
Accepted me with all my flaws.

I felt your pain, your smiles, your tears,
The hardship endured through early years.
A time before I came along,
How life's cruelties stripped you bare,
And yet somehow, you held it there.

What I didn't know, I never knew,
How much that pain affected you.
So now how easily you turn away,
Without a touch, or backward glance,
You walk away, I'm in a trance.

I'm lost again, I've lost my soul.
You made me feel, you made me whole,
Now I'm just someone you've cast aside,
You eyed me, tried me, took me apart,
Then neglected, rejected, and broke my heart.

Driftwood floating out at sea,
This my love, you've done to me.
But I am strong, I will survive.
I will get up, stand tall, and take the pain,
And yes, in spite of you, I'll love again.
