Jealousy and Murder.

Your blue eyes shine, the color of beauty
Just like the ocean, a dying romance
She envies your beauty, would steal your heart
If she could, if she could


You are her best friend, but that could change
Murder flashes, in her dull eyes
Each time you near her side
She would kill, if she could, if she could


Jealousy kills, and envy will murder
Her bleeding eyes are full of death
She holds the knife each night
Imagines your smile, dancing with fright

Dark hair that sways, in the wind
Eyes that glow, in the night
She would kill, to be like you
One day soon, she just might

She’ll count the ways, to make you bleed
to end the beating, in your chest
to steal the life, you‘re blessed to live
for jealousy stole, her cruel soul

You trust her with, your every secret
trust that she’ll, forever keep it
You don’t know, of the blade she sharpens
Each time she hears your name

Freckles that dust, across your cheeks
Nails you paint, the brightest red
just like the blood, beneath the flesh
She longs to cut, clean away

That heart that beats, deep in your chest
Will cause you pain, and deep regret
When the girl you trust, displays the truth
That jealousy kills, and envy will murder

 

Author's Note

I don't write many free verse poems, but I like the freedom of them, not being trapped by the rules of rhyming, so to speak. So this might not be too awesome, seeing as it's not a style I'm used to. So, any honest opinions are really appreciated! If anyone could tell me how to write strong free verse poems without the lines sounding out of place, that would be really awesome!

Very dark and mysterious. It reminds me of cold secrets told. Good job on this poem tears. Rhyming doesn't make a good poem, feelings and emotion make a goof poem. and this poem was awesome we don't need rhyming schemes to get the message. Keep up the good work! ☺
