Lemon Eyes and Perfect Lies
Two of my favorite themes to use, now I'd like to see others try it. How do jealousy and deception pair together? Poetry is preferred on this one, but any format is okay if really needed. Don't forget to tag me in the comments.
jealousy isn’t attractive
they say green is the color of jealousy -
well i say that's a fool's theory.
green ain't nothin' to this sour taste
staining the back of my goddamn tongue.
color can't comprehend the thousand
deaths I sustain when you look his way
instead of mine.
they'd have to build an entire graveyard
for all the versions of me i've killed
just to keep you
safe.
i'm sorry i hurt you baby i didn't
mean to make the marks last.
do you hate me now?
do you still love me?
did you ever
love me
at all?
oh -
you're sorry?
you're...
sorry?
well,
you should've thought of that
before you turned your gaze
away.
from.
mine.
