Your eyes could have eaten me up
They were so empty
Like a well like a pit of black
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
Your eyes were so full of scorn
Like I had just killed your child
Like I was a monster under full moon
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
Remember back?
How many years?
4? 5?
When we would wear blue eye shade
And paint our fingers red
When whispers were the extent of our day
We were on top of the world
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
Have you forgotten so quickly?
Your eyes are like green fire
Dark and salty and strange to me now
Don’t try to hide from me now
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
Do you remember those black lies?
Those lies I hid from everyone?
Glitches in you that I covered up
Covered so you could shine
You never minded that I was in your wake
That I was in your shadow
I tried not to mind too
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
Behind your slender frame I was
Kept there for so many years
Now that I have joined the dark
How can you blame me?
Now that the color of sin draws me
How came you blame me
If you were the one who put me in the shadow?
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
I tried to understand
I cried for all I was worth
Don’t you ever think I didn’t
You gave up on me
Don’t blame me for your mistakes
Mrs. Green eyed jewel
I tried
Behind you for so many years
Don’t put the spot light on me now
Don’t try to care about me now
I’m nothing but your shadow now

Emotional without sounding contrite or contrived. You have a great way of expressing yourself through the written word!
