Drifting and
Drifting
And further apart the tides will stretch us
Your love was the horizon
A steady boundary-embrace.
I can’t find you anymore
The worst of the damage is
The corrosion caused by jealousy
By loneliness and
Fear
Undermining my stability
Eroding the chains to my anchors
Lessons I should have learnt long before you
Long before
Now.
Because that’s the hardest thing to swallow, isn’t it?
That I knew this would happen because it’s happened before.
Too many times
I’ve watched the people I love drift away, tie themselves to others..
Create a spot in their hearts where I’m nothing but a memory.
And yet I let you come close.
Why
Do I torture myself like this?
