I’m listening to Delta by Crosby Still an Nash. I have always said that the lines “Love that child that steers the riverboat but lately he’s crazy for the deep” was about Scott.
It just occurred to me that Scott wasn’t the child driving the riverboat, I was. Scott was the deep. Scott was the vicious whirlpools and eddys that pulled me into danger, pulling me under,into the darkness, and trying to drown me without a thought or care. Just another life form to triumph over, to suck the life from. I was crazy for the deep.
I made it back to shore, he will have to find another victim.

Yay!
Great insight! They ARE the deep….. and not the deep as in “deep knowledge, deep souls, deep wisdom”, only as in “deep, deep abyss that will swallow you whole if you let it” (if you remember my poem about the abyss a while back, perhaps).
We have to stay out of the abyss or we could get lost forever…
Sadly, these people that draw other people down in their destructive abyss, they will always find other victims. Because they have to. because they can’t face their own abyss. They rather suck someone else into that, and watch that person squirm and try to get out…. *Shudders*
It is all so sad, really. Luckily for us, we can find another way. Another life. Another love.
Hugs!
Thanks S. I wrote a poem sometime back called the void. About the emptiness when he was done sucking the life out of me. Loving Scott was always like standing at the edge of the abyss. Every damn day. Some days he’d pull me farther in, some days push me back. I am out of reach now. He can do neither. Just watch me disappear. But that song…dang yes he was the Marianna Trench. And I was the crazy one, Allowing myself to get sucked in, and drowned.
Yes.. the void.. it is scary. It is funny that you should say drowned. I am just soon about to post my most silly post ever. Basically about a tv show. Some poeple in it, belive in The Drowned God, and their motto is “What’s dead may never die”…
Perhaps ot so uplifting but the interpretation I believe, is that once we reach the bottom, we can go nowhere but up. Hugs.
