Viridian Jealousy

green is the color i see when you look 

at her. i hate the color green. it makes 

my stomach roil. she opens a book, 

she delicately turns the page, the lakes 

of blue that make up her eyes are the color 

of ice, so pale and lifeless. what do you 

see in her? time passses she gets duller,

she doesn't get you the way i do.

not just like, she is every other girl,

in every face i pass, cookie cutter,

i am a diamond, she’s only a pearl.

her eyes are empty, cold, no clutter

viridian is the shade i see when

you look at her, my stomach hurts again.
