Slipped (Poem)

I've slipped
I am shipped,
To the middle
Of a distant sea.

I've fallen,
And I'm all in
Drowned in things,
That can never be.

I am frail
And I fail,
Pain cuts through me
Like a knife.

I am crying
Just left lying,
No hope
Of a better life.

I had slipped
Wings were clipped,
I wanted
To get away.

I was lame
Then you came,
And you
Asked me to stay.

I was broken
Words unspoken,
You could never
Understand.

I'm me
And now I see,
You offer
Me your hand…
