The Ocean

Well... here I am again... Not by my own hand though. This poem was requested by a friend of mine. One of the only poems that I have written that actually rhyme. Its a bit longer than usual, but hey. Here goes.

I walked along the sandy beach, on a warm summers day. The sand was warm, the sun was hot, but the ocean, it was grey. I looked at this peculiar thing, and tilted my head back. To my suprise, the midday sky was an evil shade of black. Where is the blue of sky and sea? Where did it disappear? I searched the sand along the beach, but the blue was nowhere near. I searched and searched to no avail but little did i know. The colour blue had covered me and i was blue head to toe. I asked myself why i was covered in the colour blue. But then it clicked, it wasn't a trick, I was blue because of you. The fact that you had left me here alone without a face. Made the ocean lose its colour blue, and turned it into grey. Because you took my heart from me and never gave it back. When you left me lonely here, i turned the sky to black. Thats how much i needed you, thats how much i cared. I took the oceans colour, and poured it on my head. Eventually my head gave in. And a brand new heart grew back. The ocean changed from grey to blue and the sky was no longer black. The ocean will never turn to grey, and nor the sky turn black. Because of how you stole my heart and never gave it back.
