Though she is a blue eyed blonde
she flits through my imagination
with cold green eyes
hardened by jealousy.
Spiteful and insecure,
eyes brimming with tears -
her specialty.
Like an abandoned kitten
needing a savior,
begging for a pat on the head.
Wearing her pain like a cloak
she refuses to relinquish.
Sad and pitiful, her stock in trade
Revisiting past hurts,
equating concern with love.
But sly enough to manipulate.
Turn away
and she cries again
Lashing out at perceived slights
brandishing her mawkish pen
writing verses to remember the pain
not for therapy,
but to dwell in the sorrow.
She doesn't know I share her pain,
but no one suffers as she does.
Determined to milk every drop
of sympathy,
jealous green eyes carefully watch
lest she miss a chance
to publicly suffer again.

You have a lot of great lines here.. could describe a lot of people I know.
Some dwell in the sorrow because they don't know where else to dwell or how to truly let it go. A thought-provoking piece... for me anyway. Thank you for entering the contest.

Wow, this was so good. I had thought of making mine on green eyes about jealousy but after seeing this I'm glad I didn't. Such a reality to it, excellent job there, and the flow was superb.

Powerful Write!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a truly powerful piece you have penned to share with all of us. This Group Challenge with the titles is really awesome to see how many different perceptions there are for the same title. It is sad that this happens in life, though it is something we probably all see at least once in our lifetime. I love your use of free verse here and it flowed effortlessly. The pen is magic in your hand. Best wishes in the contest. It sounds golden. Love and God bless, Joyce
