Clothed in green

she came offering salvation,

promises of freedom in her

pocket.

She told me of the other side

and the greener grass that grew there.

She told of resolution.

She showed me how to cross

the space between,

to rise above myself

and go somewhere new.

She gave me detachment.

She tricked me and lied.

She never told me the truth

and now i pay the price.

She peeled away the layers until i was gone.

She should have said i'd leave myself behind.

Now i'm empty and wasted,

with no road back.

Mary Jane lied.
