Stranded

Amends, fallen
Through like a dropped
Line- a word never
Formed, quite possibly
Never attempted

I uttered, stuttered
While you- avoided
The line- stuck stranded
Between my words and
Your wishes

Won’t you just cut-
Me, reel it  in or drop it-
So I may float, once
More sole captain
To my own smile

But until you-
My consciousness floats,
Rotting affections and leaking
Hope- until I- stutter
A sunken smile
