Do you like my ocean blue eyes
Bright, sparkling, innocent eyes
But just like the ocean
They kill
The water consuming you as you are left
Helpless
The darkness consuming my soul
Leaving a glorified illusion
Of beauty

My tears are unlike yours
Yours are pure
Created by sorrow
Slowly pouring down your soft rosey cheeks
Eyes left bloodshot
My tears are polluted
With the despair that you caused
Slowly dripping down my impure body
My ocean blue eyes are left dry
