Grow Words

We were
Toys R Us
Boisterous 
And time pushes hard 
But I 
don't wanna grow up
Too hard 
To please 
Two peas
So sweet
Now an empty pod 
Distance got
In between 
In the seams 
Unraveling 
The intricacies 
Of the only stable 
Every day 
you and me 
That made life
Everything I needed
Now I'm eating
at the sink
standing on my own
at the brink 
of a quiet 
insanity 
A smile thru pain
kinda clarity
of everything 
ahead of me 
It's not the end
but it is 
sorta, 
I have to 
pay attention 
to the new me
to my own needs 
The green of my aura 
the blue of my soul
teal tears 
staining my cheeks
as I wade thru 
muddy meloncholy 
on my own
waters unknown
rivers too quick 
oceans too deep
and I try 
and I try 
and I trip
and I keep 
getting up 
again 
and again 
purple knees
and bruised hope 
and who knows
maybe there's something 
somehow 
some one
around the corner
at the end 
of this road
but I can't seem 
to believe
and I don't 
know how to let go 
We were 
big bright lights
head back laughs
same face
same mind 
one track 
a little piece 
of me 
that quickly 
has surpassed 
everything I've ever been 
all the things I've ever
dreamed
We have now 
changed places
and your making
all the calls 
I used to make
and you urge me 
to talk 
to take
any chances
all the chances 
all advances 
are good 
are necessary 
are the very 
things that make us ,
Us 
We were little 
heavy hearted girls 
but you were right
all along 
and it's been 
good
to lighten loads
and grow up
