I've never seen green ice before.
Bet it's a first for you.
It's really kind of frightening
especially when it's you.

The ice is frozen in my eyes,
my stare's an ice-cold lance.
Two orbs of hard viridian
gaze out in frigid trance.

I catch my image in the mirror.
I'm scared to death. You see,
I see two points of icy rage
that pierce inside of me.

I've never been this way before;
so cold and hard and bare.
I shy away from my own face;
hide from that glacial glare.

The other people notice it,
they hide from me as well.
These crystal pools of jade-laced frost
trap me in my own Hell.

It hurts to see them exile me.
They run and don't think twice.
But pride won't let the pain escape
twin pools of deep green ice.

Wow loved this. Had to thin at first what you were meaning by "green ice" but you made it clear to me via your words. Library.
