She sees the ocean In your beady eyes, And she wonders What you see in her. She wonders if you know How deep the sadness goes, And how she carries it Just beneath her skin. She fears you'll walk away When she leaves you with nothing, But the bitterness and broken Shattered pieces of her soul. She is trying so hard to hold tight, Just to keep herself sane and whole. But then the time came When you started, Seeing all the things She sees in herself. And that was the most Terrible thing for her, Because she was aware That you won't s t a y. And she was right. You l e f t her.

Terrible Thing
She sees the ocean In your beady eyes, And she wonders What you see in her. She wonders if you know How deep the sadness goes, And how she carries it Just beneath her skin. She fears you'll walk away When she leaves you with nothing, But the bitterness and broken Shattered pieces of her soul. She is trying so hard to hold tight, Just to keep herself sane and whole. But then the time came When you started, Seeing all the things She sees in herself. And that was the most Terrible thing for her, Because she was aware That you won't s t a y. And she was right. You l e f t her.
