One time
God
took away my eyes

Stole the colours from me.
Helped me forget
all of the crashing blues,
pulsing reds,
laughed-out greens,
soaring yellows,
And as i fought, breathe by breath,
with every step
He and I took,
Suddenly I found
I found no use for them anymore
because
I saw you, instead

With every word you said,
with every move you gave me,
with the fragrance of your skin
and with how sweet the air became
when you danced

And when God saw me
he took joy and extended His hands
and returned what i had corrupted
and what had not been mine

and i cried as i found
That what i had wanted to see

was not your lips
nor your hair,
nor your eyes,

But you.
