my eyes are green
from the sheer jealousy i felt
the indignation
from the shame
the brutality of it all
my eyes are green
from the determination to love again
and searching for you in his arms
from the emptiness
the confusion of it all
because i forgive you
because all is fair in love and war
but we’re still at war
still
my eyes burn green
from the freedom he gives me
to experience pleasure for the sake of pleasure
i thought i’d forgotten
how delicious this could be
green because i have a secret
i secretly like this game
of loving you with no expectations
and no rules
simultaneously victorious and defeated
green

after reading your post, i realize that mine eyes have too been green. the beauty in it lies in the various shades ranging from celadon with an end at myrtle. bittersweet life has allowed me to co-habit her green spectrum. in the final analysis, it just makes the human experience even the more richer.
