This is poetry that comes from the place where pain can be felt the most.
The heart.

Jealousy
Jealousy.
Green with envy.
Am I really green?
Green like what?
Devoted green
eager to be in the light
Green like new grass ready to grow
ready to brighten the life of a child after
a day of studying
lovers on a picnic with fried chicken, wine and potato salad
~
Green like a weeping willow over a pond
shading the hottest part of the shore
teenagers to whom the world belongs, giggling underneath
smoking
laughing
being free
~
Green like a dress on Melrose
not in the window, in the back, girl, one of a kind
in your size
the night of the party
after your hair and nail appointment
Jealousy. A wonderful curse.
Like your period after unprotected sex
Jealousy. Leading to be what ever your jealous of Jealousy.
~
Green with envy.
Green like what?
Green like a pregnant woman during her first three months
sleeping to feel better just to wake up and vomit every time
Green like the cheese you left on the counter
before you went out of town
growing
crawling
animate
infectious
~
Green like the nail polish you thought was the most ravishing
golden brown while you were at the nail shop
a green so horrid you dropped tears
when you saw it next to your black, slinky, anniversary dress
Jealousy. An appalling hex.
Like roots in the deep south
Jealousy. Leading to be only Jealous
Jealousy.
~
Green with envy.
Green like what?

It Just so Happens
It just so happens,
you have all these nameless people
who say they love you
~
selfish I am not
to say I want you all to my self is wrong
I missed you and it just so happens,
I loved you before your fans
~
jealous I am not
to say you have to be a civilian
would be wrong
~
I missed you
and it just so happens,
I wanted you when nobody wanted you
~
spiteful I am not
to pain you and make them go away
~
I missed you
and it just so happens
When you were gone, I prayed that you'd come back
~
I missed you
I didn't care if you came back with your yelling,
your cheating,
your lies
~
but it just so happens,
when you came back I missed you more than ever

You
I'll always know
what you refuse to show
that I bring you to your knees
~
and of all the times
you forgot your lines
you've always been a tease
~
your unkind thoughts
and my tear drops
turn to ice like rain
you're so damn cruel
that's your only tool
you control my pain
~
you know your game
but I know your shame
it's what you've done before
there's too much to hide
that would seriously colide
with what you have in store
~
you are so fucking sure
that I'm your girl
that I can only play the role
I laugh when I'm sad
try not to be bad
and sink deeper in this hole
~
but you constantly try
to make me cry
I Just laugh right in your face
but after you go
to put on your show
I tear up the fucking place
~
without me you'd fall
you'd stand so much less tall
but you make sure that no one sees
that's all I know
though it doesn't show
I bring you to your knees

Time Served
Going away should be a plus
Though time away isn't relative
At least not between us
You're out in the night feeling alive
Though it's not exactly the same
here in cell block five
I stare at the phone but you haven't called yet
so there is still no word
on when my bail will be set
I Then feed my son and put him to bed
and write down all of my words
that haven't been said
I close my eyes
and draw pictures in my head
of the things I would do if
I wasn't playing dead
I'd fly high in the sky I'd be a beautiful bird
But for now I hope your realize
This counts as time served

Muddy Water
You say you LOVE me
I think it's what I used to be
~
You say you care about my heart
What was left of that you tore apart
~
You say I could
I should
~
Be stronger
And you say you're not my fairy God father
~
That you're sick of the jealousy
You didn't see
When we both were free
Unfortunately
~
Times are harder than you know
Inside I'm sicker than I show
That's why I said go
~
And since have no fairy God father
I've grown bored on the banks of this muddy water
~
It seems I've found
No way around
It's go back or drown
~
That sounds like an end
So I'm where I started from again

Thirsty
Lazy sun seeps through
warming my dreams of you
coming to a stop, the car
jerks me awake
your eyes make me shake
and melt and fly away
"Are you OK?"
so interested and concerned
all you've learned
becomes a bore
so you ask
"Do you want anything
from the store?"
While inside you say
at least this much
"Is there a place I can touch,
that I haven't touched?"
My voice is sleepy
"Apple Juice...I am soooo thirsty"
You blink once.
Smile. Laugh.
"Meee too."
yawn.
the car door slams.
you're gone
