Oceanview


Throw away the smiles

Bring home the fear

Forget to calm the child

Rage the storm unclear

I stand on the shore

Alone, as a mess unfolds 

Water tickling my toes

Searching for more

The salty air only knows 

Leave me alone, untouched 

With tears still on my face

It is easier to find myself 

In all the ocean's space
