I thought I knew your words It was like knowing anybody out there   A blank page in the book of Proverbs Bait and switch without the wisdom But you didn’t know what you brought Soulless protection to fear You called me a scared little girl Little did you know I was my own savior What is it you said I needed? A so-called enlightenment? But who knew your darkness wrapped *** magik Could save vulnerability and attempt to destroy the authentic luxury of me No. Only fake love in lust can do that For lust is loss and I’m not gone Then there was you and me again That night unveiled me The unevolved me Still I knew I was going to make it out alive I am here.

Jade and Blue Eyed: Part 2
Roses are red, thinking gets dicey. Speak to a doctor, before things get too spicy.

Excuse me, the chef added too many chilies.
And the ground beneath My feet vanishes. The air in my lungs Evaporates within me. The blood in my veins Exsanguinates through my pores. And my mind shrivels and expands Like the core ready to explode. And I’m dying. 5 things I can see: The chair The sky The door The walls My hand The walls are closing in. 4 things I can touch: The floor The chair My hair The walls The walls swirl in my vision 3 things I can hear: The birds outside The fan The sound of my feet bouncing off the floor. The walls move in and out of my vision. 2 things I can smell The cut grass. The sweat on my skin The walls 1 thing I can taste: The salt on my lips. And then the walls vanish.

Grounding?
I see the pieces in you that keep you away Reflecting off your silent speech The color jade in blue green Glass stripping innocence Produces a passion flower flavor dripping   In my mouth Taste buds gone raw I tried to protect a mask with a sharred imagination A wild sunspun refraction strips me down in light strips Light strips form laser electric prisms Turn me inside out That’s when the light comes on So let me Take them off already Where are you sun? I want you to know me I wanted to know you so bad But the real me saved who you knew Who you thought you knew when we first met that night Dark and still Inside the insides of your filthy car stark leather streaked Unfiltered cuts I was keyed in My intuition pure The front seat Headlights falsified F your own self and ********** Until you sink into sinner’s sleep That’s a lot of hidden pain to carry inside a heart burning body Unconscious to the crisp

Jade and Blue Eyed: Part 1
Don’t be harsh on yourself. Don’t shrink your feelings. Talk to yourself — you deserve your own kindness.

You Deserve Your Own Kindness
Children in backyards playing in the sunshine of summertime; Swing sets and trampolines, ***** feet and scarred knees. Wandering through the forest, free to be explorers; Sleeping in tents always made the most sense. Those were some good days, living in our old place. Come winter, we’d jump out of bed, gather the sleds; Adventures to the big hill, always a thrill. Snowball fights on starry nights Until we were satisfied, then warmed by the fireside. Those were some fun days, living in our old place. As we got older, life seemed colder; From my brothers, my father and my mother The distance increased and the days ceased When we would play and it was all okay. Those were some lonely days, living in our old place Depression visited me too young, the isolation wasn't fun; Eleven years old, I was sternly told That of it I should not speak, life became excessively bleak. Overcome with sadness, an innocent girl navigating through the madness. Those were some hard days, living in our old place. Wondering where all the love went and the quality time spent, Lacking a meaningful connection, absent of familial affection. Alone in a poorly lit bedroom, experiencing psychological gloom. Riddled with confusion and fear, everything became more unclear. Those were some scary days, living in our old place. We moved on our separate ways, trying to land a job that pays And find friends who would make amends To my broken heart, offering a brand new start. But nothing quite compared to the love that I had for you... During all those good days, living in our old place. Maybe emotional neglect has a lifelong effect, Remaining difficult to let go of the hurt that continued to grow When I was only a child. Still longing to be reconciled While learning how to cope, forever holding on to hope Throughout these restless days, living in our new place.
