i need you;
to be my anchor.
my anchor in this swirling whirlpool of secrets and lies.
save me,
i'm drowning in a sea of misery and false hope,
i can't save myself.
toss me a lifejacket,
i'll cling to you,
with desperate hands and last-resort love.
i don't want to go down.
i don't want to go leave here tonight,
another faded memory in the facade of happiness.
i want you.
i need you.
i need you to be here with me,
when the winds start to roar and the thunder rumbles.
when the storm brews and the lights flicker off.
i want to know that you'd die for me.
i want to know that if there was the option of a lifeboat,
you'd refuse,
and sink with me,
until our icy blue lips meet at the bottom of the ocean,
lost amongst the coral.
i want you to be my anchor.
save me.
