Your Glowing Green Eyes

We were young when I first saw you;

Your green eyes were glowing,

Like they always will do.

My heart beat so fast

When you walked

Right by me.

As we grew older,

I called you best friend.

You were the one I could talk to

With anything and always everything,

But sadly, even through all the joy,

I would still just be to you

The little girl next door.

Time went by and days turned into years.

You grew older, and far more handsome.

But those pretty green eyes still glowed,

That brown hair full and thick,

You were now not a small

Boy.

But a tall, lean man.

I too grew older

With my pretty new dress.

My brown eyes would sparkle,

And my long hair just as ever black.

No longer was I, that small

Little girl.

But a lovely young lady.

And yet, still to you

-For you saw past all the

Make-up and heels-

I was just that

Girl next door.

But finally, one day,

You spilled your heart to me.

‘I’ve liked you for too long.’

I smiled at the words;

You took my delicate fingers

In your soft warm hand.

We smiled and kissed

That made up for the years that had passed.

The days sailed by

With you by my side,

But the days weren’t long enough,

And as the warm summer breeze

Turned to the cold fall air,

You looked me in the eyes

And I could see the distance there.

‘Just for now’

You whispered so slowly,

And the green in your eyes

Were not glowing,

The sparkle in mine

Turned to glittering tears.

I pulled,

ever so slowly,

my hand

away from yours.

I forced a smile, and turned to walk away

Where I dashed to the fields,

And I clutched at my heart.

For it was worse

Then being

Stabbed

In the

Heart.

For I was

Stabbed not only there,

But in the back, where your knife,

Long and sharp,

Soared right on through,

Directly at my heart.
