I learned that those who jump ship first
when the waters are rising
and the tides are close to swallowing you whole
in the heat of a raging storm...
They are the first ones
to leave you to drown
alone in the icy depths
when your head falls
below the cold waves
And after they've made it back
to sunny shores unscathed
they won't even think of casting out
a lifeboat
to save you from what's to come
