Green Eyes

Green Eyes

A Poem by Heather D
"

in our small town, rumors swirled after me and Matt's break up. this one hit me especially hard.

"

He looked into her eyes, she stared into his perfect emerald green.
His eyes were what had won her over, the first thing about him she'd seen.
They were a perfect couple, always hand in hand.
He spoke his love for her often, swore she'd wear his wedding band.
She'd given him her heart, and her absolute trust.
They got along better than anyone, they shared love, not lust.
And they were the best of friends, always having fun.
In the eyes of many boys she was just a prize to be won.
But that's not how he saw her, no, not this girl.
She was kind, funny, and sweet, she was his whole world.
And he was hers too, he was her everything.
She never worried about their relationship, he gave her heart wings.
Wings that carried her away, with every single kiss,
Cupid used his arrows well, it's not often that he's miss.
But this green-eyed boy, and this brown-eyed girl, who loved each other true,
Would be pulled apart, by a girl, who envied the love they knew.
They had plans for the movies, for some time together.
Then that fateful night, she called, bringing stormy weather.
She was all promiscuous lust, and it was him she wanted.
The girl's ex-best friend, the boy was too strongly taunted.
So he broke up with his girl, took a hammer to her heart.
And that dreadful night, the girl fell apart.
She wasn't the same, she was an empty, aching shell.
She hadn't seen it coming, she'd known him so well.
The halls at school were now her biggest dread.
She had to pass him, see him, and their memories filled her head.
And then summer arrived, a small relief not to have to see him.
But without him by her side, her days dragged by slow and dim.|
But her heart has begun to heal, slowly but true.
Although some days, the wound still hurts, as though its fresh and new.
But healing is healing,  and she does her very best.
Patching up a broken heart is a strenuous, draining quest.
But the girl is strong, and she pushes bravely through.
And though the boy is a failure, and single, the girl has someone new....
