Anchor

A Poem

I crave your touch, I need to know that you are there

I guess that was too much to ask for

I wanted things to work out between us

I don't understand why you left me that way

You never said that you were unhappy

You never said that things were not working out

I wish that I could get you back somehow

I still crave the heat of your lips on mine

I don't understand why I still love you

But I can't seem to live my life without you

I need you back here with me

How can I change your mind?

Your love was all I ever needed

Why didn't you feel the same way about me?

Was it something that I said?

Your like an anchor to me, you keep pulling me down

But I don't care, I want to be by your side

The water is filling up fast now and my heart is deep in it

Is there a way for you to come save me?

I need you here beside me, guiding me through this storm

Where is your heart when I need it most?

You never showed up when I needed you

You never even called to ask

You never seemed to care about how I felt

So I finally dropped my anchor, the torch I carried for you

I was moving forward now, much faster

I no longer need you in my life.
