I was told that the eyes behold every truth
But when I looked into his I couldn't see past the curtain of happiness he masked his lies with

I believed his eyes held the galaxy
The way it shines under the dark sky
I watched the stars twinkle in them
They were so complete, yet devoid of the love I wished to see

I did not complain, for my heart weaved itself into his name
Now it cannot see the obvious lies.
I tell myself to not fall any further,
But he was the ocean's treasure
Brimmed with a cold embrace
Enveloping my soul into its chambers
I couldn't escape my fate sealed with his

Never knew I could be capable of loving someone until he came along
I gave myself,
Wholly
Completely

Gave my everything
Only to return cold and empty handed
I told myself just because i love someone
Doesn't mean I deserve to be loved too

So I watch him feed me a false hope
I smile bitterly, reading his lips
Wanting to hear them speak my name too
But I expect too much

Now I wander around the world he created for me
The world I drew the map to
But I'm lost
Where does my heart belong
If not in his embrace?
Because I've known no other place but his eyes to take my solace in

The very heart that beats for him alone
Now ask me reasons for her scars
I give her no answer
For I myself do not know it's home

Where does my heart belong If not within his own?
