Stolen Green
The snakes inside that boy entwine
Sickening him with their darkness
Shining and gleaming bright and green
Soaking up all of his luster and shine
Consuming each drop of his hopes and dreams
But leaving him with his heartache
This boy's left with too much heartache
As he watches his best friends entwine
He wishes to have that at least in his dreams
But his dreams are filled with darkness
Or snakes whispering that he'll never have shine
'Cept in eyes which have stolen their green
Those stolen eyes never radiate green
Anymore since that first day of heartache
Hiding their beauty not letting it shine
Gives the snakes less incentive to ensnare and entwine
Delaying the heartache, plunging heart into darkness
Allowing for deep sleep sans dreams
And when the boy is without his dreams
He is peaceful, lacking those flashes of green
Enveloped is he within welcoming darkness
Lacking the pain and forgetting the heartache
In the covers his legs can entwine
And he can rest, even without the shine
He figures he'll never again have his shine
It is lost forever, overpowered by dreams
In which the snakes endlessly entwine
Hissing nightmares focused on stolen green
Eternally plummeting him with his heartache
And leaving him gasping and aching for darkness
The peaceful nothing that comes with the darkness
While not half so good as the shine
At least replaces unbearable heartache
With comforting black in the night during dreams
And never again does he want stolen green
To intrude into thoughts and make snakes entwine
The darkness, he decides, can stay n his dreams
But bring back the shine and banish the green
To get rid of the heartache and stop the entwine
