My Anchor
Depression Support / by Derailed062024

...See more My anchor pulled loose from the sand, But how I can't quite understand. But still somehow my boat just stays, As my anchor drifts away. The rope that used to hold us nigh, Before my eyes I see untie. My anchor then breaks free from norms, Before my eyes as it transforms, Becomes a bird so strong and free, Takes flight without a glance at me. I watch it fly away and soar, So far can't see it anymore. I sit alone drifting in tide, Sad thoughts are all that's left inside. The worst of them I can't resist, Did my anchor even exist? I once thought that I knew for sure, That its would always hold secure, Into the sand it's teeth did gnawl, But was it really there at all? The rope that bound us seemed not fake, So strong that it could never break, I look back in the river bed, To find the place that it once tread, Can't find the divot where it lay, Before it changed and flew away. I sit confused searching through tears, Even the rope has disappeared.

...See more Hello everyone! I'm a 45 year old guy struggling to survive a broken heart. A year has come and gone without much progress on my part. I hope to one day make peace with what happened. When I lost her I lost me too, and I hope someday to figure out how to be me again without her. Ok, enough of my sob story lol.
