All That Is Left

Darling be careful.
You might be graceful, 
You may be kind.
But all I see is misery in your green, green eyes.
You aren't alone, 
And despite your facade,
You are not cast from stone.
Your beauty is momentary, 
But your poisoned soul is eternal.
My love, 
Be careful. 
For what you see as yours
Can be broken, 
Easy as a delicate glass.
