Emerald Eyes

Behind the emerald eyes,
where sunlight cannot touch.
The forgotten soul resides,
when life becomes too much.

Hiding in the dark,
an everlasting night.
Knows nothing of the heart,
will never see the light.

The prison that holds close,
the life that lives within.
What it wanted most,
was never to give in.

But somehow, ideas lost
have a beginning and an end.
As the snow turned into frost
a heart could learn to mend.
