See an ocean
In my clouded eyes.

See a tree
In the forest
Of lies.

See a rock
In the pile
Of things to forget.

Forget the lies,
Forget the pain,
Forget your life.

Forget all those
Who care,
Who try
To love you,
Only to be
Turned down.

Heartbreak echoes
Through the tunnels
Of deceit.

See my fears
Floating in the water,
Of the ocean
In my clouded eyes.
