i put my words in stanzas,
put a ribbon around them and showed them to you...
you didn't like them.

i put my words in couplets,
i put them in a box and shipped them to you...
you still didn't like them.

i put my words in a full poem,
placed the poem in a bottle,
sent it into the ocean in hopes that it finds you...
you read the poem, wept and never spoke a word.

i placed my words in my heart,
drenched them in blood,
whispered them into your soul.
you held on to me,
eyes locked on each other with a sign of emotion...
that's when you finally let me know,
that my words reminded you of anchors....

they always seek refuge in the pits of your heart and soul...
