Poet's note: After a long battle trying to help a friend out of an abusive relationship, completely exhausting myself trying to empathize, help and provide guidance on a daily basis, I had to give up before I myself got lost in the situation. This poems represents the frustration, bitterness and sorrow of seeing a loved one being stuck in a critical situation unable to help - leaving my heart there for them to find, if they ever make it to shore.
