fisherwoman...

did you think
i did not see
the danger
the monster

awaiting me
twas not the hidden
beast beneath the sea
that frightened me

did you think
i did not feel
the shackles
pulling me apart
ripping open
to my heart
twas not these chains
which bound me so
that frightened me
don't you see?
it was the thought
what if my love
were all for
naught
and

your
love
i
had
not
caught
