Anchorless

The tide pulled truth from under me
You vanished like a memory
I reached for hands that weren't around
Just waves that dragged me further down

I'm drowning. Where were you?
You said you'd stay, but that's not true
I called your name, but no one came
You watched me break beneath the blame

You spoke in lines too soft to trust
Left all your weight inside my lungs
I swam through hope until it died
You stayed ashore and closed your eyes

Were you ever mine to lose
Or just a storm I called a truth?

I'm drowning and still alone
You said you'd fight, but let me go
The current knew what you would do
It held me tighter than you
