Love Is An Ocean, and Baby I'M An Anchor

You became the one, out of a complete stranger.
Some person points a gun at you, my life is now in danger.
But baby, now you're gone, and I've built up all this anger.
I knew it all a long, I'm an outfit. You're a hanger.

In other words, you were, something to hang on to.
My life is rather rough, but you were something I belonged to.
Something I'd never hurt, nor would I, ever wrong you.
See, love is like some lyrics, and we never got this song through.

Seeing the title to your work reminded me of the seventies hit song "Magnet and Steel" by Walter Egan. You have decent descriptiveness and rhyming here.
