"Green"

Throw your caution to the wind,
[Laughing out loud at the thought of being alive,
Cause I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.]
Strain with the effort,
Feeling like everything's going to be okay,
If you could just make the moment last,
Everything's going to be okay,
Your tears streaming down your face,
Those green and purple diamonds
Clinging to your eyelashes,
Reflecting the world in a single drop
As it disconnects and falls,
Tumbling to the ground,
A sea of color enveloped in its own color state,
Purple mixing with the green
(You are no longer green--the color fades)
Leaving the purest of blues:
Fusing, changing, altering,
The color of the unknown,
Fulfilled purpose latching on,
Thrusting its head inside yours,
Leaving you moaning and shaking,
Crying for more,
Begging for the green to fade:
That awful, awful color takes your place,
You sigh and wonder how?
Give yourself to the moment as it flies away from you
Your heart pounding,
Your breath catching in your chest,
Faster and faster it comes,
Spiraling out of control
[Saying can't you see me?
Can't you see my walls come tumbling down?
Can't you see my walls come crumbling down?
And can't you see my sun start spinning around?
Can't you see that sky turn black and brown?
And can't you see my moon go flashing 'round?
And can't you see me,
And can't you see me,
And can't you see me,
NO.]
Writhing and thrusting and aching
Thinking you never wanted it so bad,
You never wanted that feeling so bad,
So you clench and move
Spilling all your emotion over the side
[Save that awful hatred for green]
You shout at the green
Wanting you, needing you
Pressing you to go just a little further
Just a little further
Oh please, oh please
Give it to me
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone out here
I don't want to be alone
Don't want
Alone
Oh please
No
Please.
A cry sounds.
Then silence.
Nothing.

Author's Comments

I hope this poem speaks for itself, but it might not. It was written free-hand at a point in my life that was very emotional for me. So think what you want, but don't you dare criticize. I know it has faults, but that is not the point of posting it here. I have typed it out as it was originally written, only excluding two lines that kind of deviate from the feeling (as I later felt).

The type of poetry I generally write is on-the-spot...I write a poem to capture the moment, and I rarely (if ever) actually go back to edit it. The exclusion of two lines of a poem is pretty unusual for me, but I feel like they detract from the meaning of the poem, so forgive me for my later editing.

And yeah...if you have any questions about the background of this poem or what any of the symbols mean, or where any of the imagery stems from, feel free to ask me. I'll explain (to people I know), just not here in public. I think the words speak for themselves, but for those who want more specific explanation, then let them ask me later.
