This Ocean View

you look like someone that
i once met in the dark
i spent a hundred thousand years
finding myself
if i had only known
what i was aiming for
i would have stopped
trying to hide away
my heart
do you remember
how it was when you
weren’t so afraid?

in this tiny cage that you’ve
forged around yourself you keep
your smiles locked up
oh so deep away & far across the world
is someone else instead who longs
to see you but will wait
another day
do you remember how it was when
you weren’t so afraid?
this ocean view
is nothing new
do you wish you
never felt alone?
