I watch as you bloom in front of me.
you have millions of roses in your eyes only
waiting for me to kiss them one by one
to bloom
and to reach their full potential,
to have stems as sharp as to
pierce the devil with them.
we believe that my love can make you live
and you always said I had the prettiest eyes,
I stare into your soul with them
I watch as you transform
into a beautiful poem
or a piece from Piero Piccioni
I watch you gain a belonging
and watch you fall away from me,
falling into yourself.
I watch, like the roses in your eyes
burn one by one
becoming blue hydrangeas
forgotten deep down in the sea.
