I wish you were a rock

I wish you were a rock,

Steady and true.

That when push came to shove,

You just wouldn’t move.

I wish you were a rock,

Constant and sure.

When I would question life,

You’d have an answer.

I wish you were a rock,

Solid and strong.

When I need defending,

You’d stand against wrong.

But you were not a rock,

You were sand on the shore.

Tossed about by things,

In life that allure. 

You were not a rock,

You were a cloud in the sky.

I wanted you to stay,

But you moved swiftly by.

You were not a rock,

You were a wave in the sea.

You didn’t hold me up,

Instead you let me sink.

I thought you’d be my rock,

So I tried to lean on you.

But you were a broken cliff,

Now I lie broken too.
