You Are Anchoring Me

He was a liar and a thief
The substance in the bottom of my grief
The collector of the memories I seek
to put away
and bury now
He was so foolish and so weak
The absence of the innocence I'd keep
The locator of the fears in me
to wall away
for years I was

But you are like an anchor I hold onto
Sometimes I cannot move
Sometimes I see my doom
But then when the stormy seas surround me
You hold me close and safe
I can ride out all the waves
You are anchoring me
For I'm adrift in this sea

He was a giver of promises in bed
A phantom in the shadows in my head
The maker of the futures I could see
Just to bury me
inside this grief
He was a warrior for an unknown risk
Like a collector of every single wish
Just to throw them all away
I was born to say
Just his name

He called me out to sea
I built this boat to be
only his, only his and his alone

But you became the anchor I hold onto
Sometimes I can hardly move
Sometimes I still fear my doom
But when the stormy seas surround me
You keep my close and safe
While I ride out the waves
You are anchoring me
Because I'm still adrift in this sea

Too many reasons for this bitter end
Lies and promises are now forgotten
They spoke in pretty words
Creating for me their worlds
and futures full of hopes to keep
I thought I had it made then
But ended in this ocean
Holding onto a boat of dying dreams
Like I'm floating away in silent screams
until you came...and anchored me

You are the anchor I hold onto
Even in the times I cannot move
Even though I may still fear my doom
When all the stormy seas surround me
I know you will keep me safe
Stay with me as I ride these waves
You are anchoring me
For I'm adrift in this sea
Please....stay with me
