Green Eyes

Her eyes glow green… green with beauty
They gaze at mine… deception is their duty
The hue of her eyes could replace the sun
Little did I know… what she had become
Her eyes glow green… green with envy
They unveil past what she pretends to be
Her dreams are distant… not in reach
They are altered with ever new face she meets
Her eyes glow green… green with greed
Without proper commodities… it’s hard to breathe
They glow green with the shade of her deepest desire
Just as the paper… she shall burn in the fire
When her eyes are closed… she harbors theses thoughts
Blinded by darkness… bewildered and lost
As she opens her eyes… the truth is revealed
I see the authentic… I can see what is real
