i am an anchor and
you're not the boat
but rather, you're the seabed, so
you can't just hoist me up
when you'd like to charter new courses, no
instead, i rest all that i have tied to me
inside of the indentations that i've forged
within your shifting sands
for every itinerary that will try
and steal me away
these fractured grains of you
encrust my tempered-iron body
bound, by chains
to a ship i've never seen; though
when the salt eats through these shackles
we will float off together into
an endless cerulean

i was going to ask you to hold back my hair
if i started to heave
but it's cut in mourning
for the fawns dying under the chalky
moist hands of children,
in mourning for newspaper print
threatening suicide off the tips of your eyelashes,
saying things like
i could fall faster
i could convert more
i could shine my face brighter than your sands

Fly
Fly
There is a blessed feeling,
That really sends me reeling,
Sends me high up in the sky...
I am never coming down,
I only want to drown,
Deeper in this delight...
You make me fly...!
An unbelievable sensation,
Sends my pulse to racin,
And I don't even have to try...
You are much more than a distraction,
You always get a reaction,
You bring light unto my life...
You make me fly...!
A once naughty temptation,
Brings me such elation,
That sometimes I want to cry...
Every new day I am greeting,
A love that is not fleeting,
You get me high...
You make me fly...!
