My Empty Eyes

look into my eyes of green
are they not the saddest seen
With golden threads running through
They hold secrets you never knew

Look deep into my eyes of green
They keep emotions behind a screen
made of tears and determination
to never wittness my souls starvation 

look deeper yet in my eyes of green
You will see just what they mean
When they say she has vacant eyes
For I am not there where my soul lies
