Blue eyes on a clear day. Bluer when the sun hits just right. I've seen her eyes the bluest when the kid in the red shirt showed up. Her eyes locked and practically green. A color on her I've never seen. Like the seasons changed, so did her eyes. Eyes so far from the blue skies that once drew me to her. Jealously struck. She became a monster. Green eyed distraught. I might have lost her.
*Green eyed distraught when it's pouring outside and your sky tells no secrets. Your petrifying skies that force me on my hands and knees until they bleed screaming "SKY, WHY DOES HE THINK MY EYES ARE GREEN?" Seemingly colorblind after he struck me with his lightning, radiating me with yellows, blues, and pinks and I'm sorry that I'm still dead and cold after everything. He wore the wrong color. Shirts as red as the passion he had only for blood. As red as the stop signs that I will not let keep me from moving forward. Deciding to run some place warmer. Writing you a letter on a purple piece of paper. Where the sun hits just right. Signing it, "Sincerely, Your Darling Little Monster."
