muted green

the grass is always greener
on the other side
where you stood
in the spotlight
well known to many
completely out of reach
i take one last glance
before going back to work
our roads will never cross
my desert is no good for you
but somehow you stepped
into my barren life
tricked by a facade of sunshine
until the fire muted your green
i'm sorry
how could i tell the truth
when you're here in my arms
but the truth always comes out
and i know
you've been hurt
and i like you
but i can't risk hurting you
sometimes i wish
i never said a word
so we both wouldn't learn
how hard it is to be alone
once you felt another soul
touched yours
in the end
i hope you'll meet
someone special
