“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin

A Sea of Glass

I look at you and you at me

Reminding of what not to be

Because that face that I have seen

Has something from an awful dream

It says what I would never say

And speaks in such an awful way

That if I could I would forget

The desperate way I made that bet

That deal that made my life this way

That led to my fair heart's betray

To blame the one I didn't know

Would let me fail on my own

And keep me locked within a dream

To always play the things that seem

To keep me in some better way

When all around me life turns gray

And blue as every silent ocean

That keeps from you its every motion

A warbling, wandering melody

A sea of glass to show me me
