Green Eyes Set in Stone
Silver beauty
Radiates from every step you take
The trail of your essence
Falls like glitter to the floor
They turn and whisper
Mouths drop
You smile a smile
That I wish I could
It's completely genuine
Not a hint of unsurity
You have nothing to hide
In fact, nobody would discriminate
If you did
You should be proud
To look good in anything
Without hardly trying
You never have to lift a finger
You have no worries
Perfect body
Perfect boyfriend
Perfect family
Perfect world
Your golden hair glows
Your blue eyes twinkle
Your teeth are brilliant white
They say true beauty lies within
If that's the case, then yours is
Shining so bright on the outside
That nobody would miss it
Even if they were blind
Nothing's missing
Yet you still think
You have the right to say
Everything is wrong
When you're gone, everyone
Notices
They wonder, watch, and wait
For their perfect missing piece
To come back
Colorless norm
Pulses with every step I take
The trail of my essence
Falls like ashes to the floor
They stare right through me
Mouths stay closed
I don't even think I have a smile
Especially nothing like yours
It would be broken
Full of my black and white world
Sometimes I wonder
When I'll be as beautiful
As you
When my beautiful from within
Will shine from the outside
If there is any, I hope it'll show
At least someday
I want someone to know
That there's more to me than just
Green eyes set in stone
