Green Envy Eyes

Only behind green envy eyes
Do secrets and frustrations lie
Confusion blinks so clear beneath
Grey armor, where all swords are sheathed

Like choices never spoken loud
And thunder, fearful in dark clouds
We beat and strike the shrieking clues
That lead us to nostalgic blues

And tears of salt that are unclean
You hide from me...or so it seems
Blind to the face of truth so near?
Deaf to the cries inside that you hear?
Mute of the words you need to say?
Wanting to touch that soft, young day?

I read the signs more than you know
But it's true that you've changed; all come and go
Past childhood mem'ries and bittersweet games
That we all thought taught us we were two of the same

Souls
Who are thirsty for love have destroyed
Such innocent methods, as old as ripped toys
And I hate that you've left me, so broken and torn
Does it not matter now, that promise we'd sworn?

Never come to me to say a farewell
I'll cling to you and the fraud that you sell
In darkened time while you suck down her taste
Of innocence that is so quickly erased
