The Way My Sister Looks At Me

Glaring emerald, green eyes staring at me,

as if I've automatcally done something wrong.

Accusation and doubt shines through the tough demeanor,

so clear that I feel a shiver of shame run through my body.

An intense hatred so evidently clear,

that I feel a need to look away.

I never knew that the eyes of a sister could give away so much.

Her eyes transform into tiny slits,

those black pupils hiding nothing from view.

She holds my gaze for a moment longer,

trapping me in place.

Deep malice seeps through,

and her eyes continue to sear my soul.

I can feel every single one of my secrets being torn away,

sliding from my grasp.

I wish that would change.
