Green Eye Shadow

Everytime he hit her she put the green on her eyes everytime she was made a joke or belittled she dug out the green eye shadow not something everybody knows until that date and that time women taking a stand for their lives green eyeshadow for the coldest of hearts the truth we could no longer deny Everytime he was cornered everytime he was victomised everytime he had to sacrifice his freedom when there was no way for him to tell the truth he would free another dead word for other men to use the times he was made to kill the times he was made to hate never again he said to himself a wolf would never understand among his dead words the truth finaly comprehended Jesus did this for you, to rise to the occasion simple logical equation of a complicated word game facts are facts in the fiction the dead words rise the green eyes under rug swept, never forget it green eyeshadow saved his life the dead words answered for men and women to have justice level one of how to belong green eyeshadow of the dead words an artistic expression as we learn to work together stop our own sacrifice as we continually crucify ourselves dead words are dead words nothing a soldier would consider until the women showed the men their eyes
