My White Whale

After all the chasing and chasing,
I'm tired of the pursuit.
No longer wanting to follow you,
no longer wanting to be wanted.

You can slip back into the ocean,
explore the murky depths —
and I'll remain ashore,
because I don't have sea legs,
and I don't want to sing any more
siren songs.
