the boy with eyes
as blue as the sea
came into my world
of black and white
and flourished it
with colors
unimaginable.

the boy with eyes
as blue as the sea
held out his hand for me
and on we went
to beautiful places
that finally opened
my tired eyes.

the boy with eyes
as blue as the sea
planted flowers in my heart
that spread through my veins
and have stayed ever since.

but
the flowers have grown thorns
and the boy with eyes
as blue as the sea
left my world
and took the colors
with him.
