It was the snake..
A serpent..
Wound in my mind..
Green evil eyes .
Peering through blue..
Leaking poisonous
venom into my blood..
Making me see
Only the bad..
The unsaid
The unfair..
The despair..
Wound up tight
Inside my brain..
Waiting to make
Me change..
Coiling itself
Around my heart..
Until it felt hollow..
Stone cold..
An emptiness like
I have never known..
Pounding my hope
Into dust..
Taken over by this serpent..
Anger
Frustration
ANGER
Damnation..
This child within me..
Green with envy..
But refusing to be seen..
Just green eyes
Looking through blue..
Maybe this makes
No sense to anyone..
Doesn't matter anymore..
This serpent has
been evicted..
I am sure it is out looking
For it's next victim..
I now see you..
Through MY OWN
True blue eyes..
And I love you..
As the woman I am..
As the lost child
That I was..
Yes..
I love you..
For no reason..
Just because..
No more evil green
Looking through blue.
Just me loving
You..
