Your eyes were the most beautiful green.
The very first moment I saw them I knew you owned me.
That beautiful, bright, glassy green bore into my heart and soul,
I could never find anything beautiful enough to compare to your eyes.
That green was the color that filled my dreams,
To me that color symbolized happiness, love, adoration, and a trillion other emotions I couldn’t even begin to describe.
Did you know that’s why I told you green was my favorite color?
I worshipped you.
If only I ******* knew then that that green was actually the color of greed, jealousy, pain, and psychological abuse.
That it was the color of crying myself to sleep every **** night just wondering why I wasn’t ever good enough for you to stop hurting me, why you didn’t love me like you knew I loved you.
That it was the color of my first abusive relationship.
Your eyes baby, are the color of venomous insects that lure you in and trap you with their beautiful selves just so they can leave gaping, gory wounds like you did to my heart, my body, my mind, and my soul.
And even though you broke me in ways I didn’t know a person could be broken,
Your eyes, are still the most beautiful color I’ve ever seen.
