Green Eyed Girl.

This is a poem I wrote about someone that wasn't what I though they were.

She looks at her reflection,
twin with tear stained cheeks and empty eyes.
Her heart ceases to beat,
anguish laces every painful breath.
She's turned to stone.
Alone.
A ghost with one lingering question,
"Am I good enough?"
The green eyed girl,
devil with angel's wings,
and lips of deceit,
would say no.
Her quivering lips have drank from the devil's poison kiss,
devoured those beautiful lies and empty promises.
She believed every breathless moment,
every tender touch,
held their future.
Foolish.
She is not so naive now,
gazing upon the ashes of the past.
She's seen beyond that glittering smile,
the facade of innocence.
Green eyed girl,
devil with angel's wings,
beautiful but deadly,
wicked and lovely,
the perfect disguise.
Her actions speak the truth,
her motives revealed.
Compelled by lust not love,
in those balmy winter months.
Wasted time stands as a lesson,
for the girl in the mirror.
Never trust a green eyed girl.

"She's turned to stone.
Alone."

"...devil with angel's wings..."

Those are my favorite lines.
It seems to me that some people think no one else has feelings.
This poem does a great job of showing the deepest feelings someone is capable of feeling, even unseen.

Ha, I could totally be wrong about the meaning and message, but that's what this poem says to me.
And anyway, personal meaning and being able to reach the reader is what a good poem is all about, so this one passes.
I think it's great.
