anchor

There was a time when I would've
done anything for you
I would have climbed mountains
and sailed oceans-
just for you
but your departures, and your affairs,
have made me so blue,
I'm sinking in those oceans, I'm falling
from those mountains,
and I'm left with nothing to gain,
and everything to lose.
Of course this gives you approval,
to move on as you please,
don't carry my weight like an anchor,
all you're doing is dragging me.
Cast me out into the seas, my love,
let the waves carry me away,
I don't want to believe anymore lies,
let the water set in, decay,
let it decay this love I just might
let die,
for if you aren't trying to save it,
why should I...?

I can relate, reread and return to such a generously worded offering. It makes the most sense to cut free and let them sail away but you still feel the yearning and you want to apportion blame.
