Emerald in Color

Things never went smoothly

That stabbing in my chest

couldn’t go away darling

not at any cost

Every single time

I closed my eyes

I still saw those olive ones

could pinpoint every single speckle

beige or chartreuse

Those irises flickered

as much as your blues

I could locate

every pad

of her fingertip

ghosting

searing

Itself across my body

It was as if

she were always there taunting me
