You’re an anchor I no longer sink for

Those are the words I thought I’d never say.

I desired you to come back to shore,

but you’re the anchor that stayed away.

I was assured you were the fish for me.

Your departure was salty and sour.

I was left drenched in tides of what should be,

when you departed from me in that hour.

Slowly, I gained the strength to swim the sea,

in a scavenger to find my one.

I found not a fish, but the shark for me,

who shows that my scavenger is certainly done.

These are the words I thought I’d never say.

Sincerely, the one that swam away.
