Anchored
I had a dream, where you walked into my life,
you didn’t leave and it felt so right.
I woke up late into the night and it felt like a scorching knife,
was lodged right into my lonesome mind.
We are both breathing, here and we’re fine,
the distance much greater than we could climb.
Between us stands a fight, we could not survive
and memories haunt us, I can’t erase mine.
I figured time, would let the storm calm down.
Darling, the further we flow, we’re bound to swim right into each others arms.
Though harm was done, with a mighty gun
and you still stand in battle, burning hotter than the sun.
I think, I myself fight a war I’d never win.
My enemy none other than the oceans within,
that rage in your name, a flame forged in sin,
let the white flags wave, I sink.
May they never think, I fell like a coward.
I kicked my legs, waved my arms and I paddled.
I crashed towards you, right until you disappeared into the horizon,
with a smile as beautiful and silent.
I stood sinking, thinking my hand would not be left as lonely.
I put it out, hoping either you or God would come and hold me.
My demise was cold, dark and it came so slowly,
once I disappear into eternity, you’ll see the waters calming
and all I did was love.
