Anchored
For my wife, my love
Through the vast wastelands of this life,
The rays of your smile chip away at the indifference surrounding my heart,
Your warm embrace melts the jaded exterior,
Your kiss brings peace to the chaos inside,
Your love encloses me safe and secure from the demons that haunt me.
They tug at my very being,
You anchor me,
They tear at my soul,
You anchor me,
They try desperately to consume me and pull me into the darkness,
Yet you anchor me.
Without your presence where would I be,
A shell of a man barely existing,
Consumed by torment of days gone by,
Of battles that still play within my mind,
Trapped in an existence from long ago.
You anchor my body to your side,
A help in time of need,
You anchor my soul to yours,
So that you may share the pain.
