Green Eyed Shadows

Scrolling through photos, a phantom’s delight,

that green-eyed monster stirs in the night.

Your laughter with someone new, sharp as a knife,

reminds me of choices that carve up my life.


A half-empty glass waits, lost in its shadow,

as I drown in the echoes of love turned to gallows.

Wishing for moments that drifted away,

while the wine sits still, and I’m left to weigh.
