Green Eyes, a Jealous Heart,
Jealousy that hurts and wounds

Green Eyes, a Jealous Heart.
Green eyes, a jealous heart, your love a mock,
You wrapped it in promises, but they never unlocked.
I saw the glint, the hunger in your stare,
Like you wanted to own me, but never to care.
Each word you spoke felt like a quiet betrayal,
Your love a game where I was set to fail.
You claimed my heart, but only to discard,
A mocking dance, leaving me scarred.
I learned to read the lies beneath your smile,
To stay guarded, yet still love you for a while.
But green eyes showed a thirst that never quenched,
And your love, a trick, where trust was drenched.
I gave what I could, but it was never enough,
You fed on my weakness, on my love so tough.
Now I see the truth, through the cracks in your shell,
A heart that could never love, a love from hell.
Green eyes, a jealous heart, your love a mock,
But I’m done with the games and the endless clock.
No more will I chase what was never mine,
I’ll heal from the lies, let the past unwind.

Similar to your eyes, but not green, well written.
Good work and choosing your words well to describe such an emotion.
Green eyes may also symbolize as 1. Good luck ; 2. Fertility ; 3. Spiritual growth
Very beautiful
