Fishing For Love

A disregarded heart
                                      tossed to the shorelines
                                   Sucked in by the magnetism
                                          of a drifting dream.
                                         
                                        To only be caught up
                                          in a web of self pity.
                                           Being pulled down
                                             by the undertow 
                                    of dishonest sacrifice of truth.

                                                A  down draft
                                     to a bottomless pit of lies
                                     Intercepted by the current 
                                     of hopes and self renewal

                                         Revived by a new love.
