Eyes

When I look at you
And her
Together
My eyes are green

They are emeralds
Shining with the tainted light from my soul
As I try
To look away

When my mother
Yells
At me
My eyes are red

They are rubies
Burning with passion
As I bow my head
In submission

When I see you
Standing there
Alone
My eyes are gray

They are marbles
Swimming with longing
As I try to get you
To look at me

I saw a woman at the store today
She looked at me and said,
"Your eyes are such a pretty blue"

I guess the sadness
Is what really
Shines through
