Fears

You wasted
the better moments.
Just beyond the ocean,
all my fears are there.

You wasted
a part of me.
Just beyond the sea,
all my fears are there.

Wayward youth,
I can protect you from the truth
No more.

If only I knew
that I had nothing
To prove to you or lose.

Your fickle nature
was a cross to bear,
like the masks you wear,
all my fears are there.

Your love is nothing
compared to my apathy.
And your sleep is heaven
compared to these waking dreams.
