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, through all the joy,

I would still just be to you,

The little girl next door.

You grew older, and far more handsome.

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.
But still to you,

For you saw past all the

Make-up and heels,

I was still just that

Girl next door.

Finally one day,

You spilled out your heart.

‘I’ve liked you for to 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 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.
