Wow. Excellent poem...sad though. The rhyming scheme is wonderful; I loved how the whole stanza rhymed. And the flow was so perfect. This was a very enjoyable read.
5/5 because you truly deserve it.

The flow is what draws me in. Do like the imagery like the 'bitter winds' and all. Different write than others I've seen...yes different... I could say use punctuation to help add to this piece but even I don't use it. Don't know maybe you could have continued with that 'shore' or a similiar image.

Captured everything i like in a a poem, structure, flow, rhythm, cohesiveness, the whole shabang, only 2 things struck me as odd, and maybe they were planned on your part...the end of two lines...did you mean them to say

never caught? &
blackened thoughts?

those two lines just confused me a little other than that it still deserved a 5 from me and a
HELL YEAH...
