HOW COULD YOU

You had so much.
You were allowed
To feel,
To express yourself,
Your emotions.
You had friends
And a home.
You had the love
Of a green eyed boy
From the first moment
He saw you.

How could you give
All of that up?
How could you
Betray your friends
And your home
And the green eyed boy
Who loved you
From the first moment
He saw you?
And for what?
Control?
Power over yourself?
Is it worth the price?
Are you happier now
That you have control
But no friends?
No home?
No green eyed boy?
Only a master
Who would betray you
At the first sign of weakness.

How is it
That a human girl
With beauty
And power
And charm
That seems so nice,
So trustworthy,
Could be so evil
While another girl
With demonic blood
In her veins
Could be good?
Why is it that
One could be nice
And lose her friends
While the other
Can't afford to be nice
Especially to her friends
Lest she destroy them?

So I wonder
If a pair
Of guileless blue eyes
And a sunny demeanor
Can hide an evil soul,
Can't mystery
And impassiveness
And a pair of dark eyes
In a demon girl
Conceal a good soul?
And if it can,
Perhaps she can hope
That one day
She will be allowed
To have emotions,
To be kinder
And happier
And have a green eyed boy
Of her own
Someday.
