Castaway

Castaway
Is thrown away
is set adrift
to find a way
is left for dead
has been, and gone
a past behind
a forgotten son.

A stepping stone.....
stepped upon.
a lost for words
or goading tone
A burning word
so idley thrown
a deafened ear
a left alone

A memory
bereft of all
a gone for good
a troubled soul
a wash of hands
a ball and chain
in solitude
in silent pain.
