Look into the ocean...
What do you see?

Do you see my endless tears in the water?
Do you see my broken heart as the waves form and crash?
Do you see the permanent damage as the creases in the water never fade?
Do you see my reflection as u feel your conscience?

I?m not just a little girl who fell down and hurt her knee...
I?m a little girl who fell in love and had her heart torn apart.

To breathe seems like a chore...
To open my eyes in the morning seems like a waste...
To trust seems impossible...
To smile seems so far away...
To laugh feels like a craving...
To love again is and will always be a dream that never comes true.

I?m not myself anymore...
My chest hurts...
My heart aches...
My eyes weep...
And my body feels like it's covered in endless flames...

Peace seems so distant...
And my eyes are just not good enough to find it.
