Eyes Wide Shut

You know what I've realised?
I don't know you at all.
Always kept me at the surface of the ocean
While I was drowning inside.

I've never seen love in your eyes
Never heard it in your voice
Never felt it in your touch.

Deprived me of all of it but forced me to believe it was there. It was there. If was there. It was there.
And like a pretty little fool.

I believed you.
Just as I believed the sun rose for me.
