Ocean Eyes

I should have known,
You with your silver tongue and charming smile,
This was all but a game,
You tricked me and lied to me,
You used me and abused me,
You left me in the dust,
When I need you the most,
But I know if you were to gaze at me again, 
With those ocean eyes of yours,
I would happily drown in them again,
Even if it meant that all I am is lost.
