Behind Green Eyes

I have whispered to spirits
Those little light treads
Marking my aging heart
They stare, I imagine
A desolate blank expression

Behind green eyes
Lies a different person

So let me introduce myself again

I don’t know what you did to me
But I’m not the same.
Faces pass me, smiles of many men
Noise of continuous life disturbs,
Summer hammering with intent.

Songs resound in enormity
As brain cells scatter to corners
Tearfully begging forgetfulness
Enwrapping tears inside

Watering pumping heart
Still bleeding from scars
Of a past laced with sadness
At mankind I disguised myself from.
Hidden.
Yet forever relying upon

To do the right thing.

I don’t know what you did to me
But I’m not the same.
I return to old beginnings
Tasteless in repetition
Tenaciously stealing strength,
I fought so hard to get here today
Yet I am fatally changed
Counting those betrayal essays
Eternal in their morbid death.

Behind green eyes
Lies a different person

So let me introduce myself again
