Green Eyes Poem by Belle elleb

Green is the color of the forest
and the forest is a majestic and dangerous plain,
that holds secrets and those in need.
But this is my forest, my safe haven.
You cut down all the trees,
in hope of exposing me:
but you don't know what lies inside,
secrets i hide.
grudges i hold,
wishes i made,
fears that i carry.
You stomp on every flower and bug,
trying to kill my hopes and my dreams.
You rip off every leaf and stem off of everything you touch,
leaving it bare, stripping me of everything i have, so you can mock and humiliate me.
You burn and kill all the the animals,
leaving me with no one but myself in loneliness.
You massacre all the birds,
preventing me from flying away.
I try to run, but you set traps,
You hunt me down, capturing me and the nothing i have left,
beating and killing me with your words.
And in the end i am left with an empty forest that was once my hiding place
and these scars I will live with forever.
But if you couldn't see through the depths of the green before,
I'm sure you can see now,
because there is no more green,
there is nothing left to hide the secrets behind my green eyes.
