the albatross

i feel like i'm an albatross

around your neck,

it's bad enough

you're on stormy seas

trying to reach beyond the horizon.


when a good catch is lured close enough,

i snag the fishing line

or still the catch.

you tell me

it's fine there's always next time.


is it fine?


it gets the better of me.

this thought,

swerving round like a rip

trying to drown me under its waves

from its pull down below.


and yet somehow

you save me

before it drags me under,

no worry on whether

i might pull you down with me.
