The View

I found a treasure chest

beneath the ocean in your eyes

and the gold within shone like a beacon

pulling me to you.

there was a saying from the wise

to reach your goal

keep your eye on the prize.

I saw your smile

and my eyes never wavered

but it turns out gold isn't worth as much as silver

and salt water remains sour on my tongue

and the wise left out the part about how sometimes you win the wrong thing.

You were a breath taking scenery but you forgot to give me breath back.
