The Inner Emerald

A woman sorts through her feelings as she strives to be at peace with never being wanted.

You sigh and smile happily

I see your stare; what a loving gaze!

But wait...it's not meant for me

I'm transparent to your cobalt rays

You can blame you? She's made of gold

No shrouded past, no old mistakes

No cancerous illness to behold

The perfect figure to embrace

I had hoped. But I knew

I just thought-doesn't matter

You sure you don't-of course not

Not with the way you look at her

My inner emerald aches and burns

It glows with stunning light

Though this hidden anger churns

I care too much to fight

I will wail when you can't hear

Use my ghostliness to fly

High above where you can't see

So I can hang my head and cry

And I know I shouldn't feed it

My mind is giving me the truth

I don't want it, I don't need it

Then why am I wanting and needing you?
