Love Poem: Fated Current

Fated Current

Are you the latest one I’ve left alone,
heart Shanghaied—no goodbye

Are you wondering why as questions loom,
the answers high and dry

Were you sure you’d be the only one,
to wade misfortune’s tide

As that fated current pulled me back
—to drift again untied
