He Was the Answer

All questions lead to a man

whose steady grasp on me

seems to carry on through

violent sea storms

and massive volcanic eruptions

They tell me breathe easy

but my paw is caught in string

He'd rather be alone than live in a world with me

we exist in the silent routine

with lies on our faces

and misplaced hatred

the fact that he doesn't need me

is what gnaws at me the most

because that's what I crave

to appear independent

but to need

and be needed

to be somebody's someone

instead, I'll just move on
