GREEN

Green doesn't lie, it doesn't cheat... 

unlike the brown who will always repeat,

it's history like a curse, clinging to his feat.

unlike the blue frozen in deceit,

the Green will not lie, it will not cheat.

brown eyes will always fool you,

enticing with their warmth, their false sincerity

then there's the blue that will always remain a little bit unattainable, 

like the abundant blue skies, you can touch but never ever really reach.

But green eyes will watch you,

with tenderness and care...

when the brown and blue have left you for good,

they will be there.

FREED

To be open and honest, 

I don't have anything left truly worth fighting for. 

My pride- long gone. 

My determination & drive- used up, long before my last stop. 

My faith -nonexistent from the start, 

My ability to forgive: still my steadfast curse! 

Every time I decide to use it, things become even worse! 

My dreams- flippantly shattered, into tiny bits and pieces that never mattered. 

Some of them pulled out from right under me as I sail through uncharted waters. 

Wise men often say this kind of heartache never ceases! 

They say instead, that it invades your soul’s remaining keepers.
