Seventeen Hours

Uncover I have uncovered something of importance Well importance of me I admit my attention has been shared my attention has been stolen, distracted but my public you already know the details but my public you already know the stories yet I call you here today to discuss what I uncovered brushed the dust off of this blue tinted booklet Scarlett Jade spent 17 precious hours of her life for me this blue tinted booklet Scarlett Jade spent two precious days making in memory of me making so I have some part of her to keep upon me at all times Well maybe I've been neglectful well maybe I've my head in sand and my hand in boiling oil for it seems I am attracted to the desire and disaster of pain instead of the calm and collecting comfort I guess I am a bit crazy but to why is it Scarlett Jade must profess she loves me but to why is it Scarlett Jade she can see through my defenses like I'm transparent but to why is it Scarlett Jade must be an episode in my soap opera an actress to my leading actor a make believe princess to my fairytale prince Be not mistaken I have dreamed of being with her in a forever after excuse me for my alternate dimension sequence I guess for reality kicking in that I always persist and never desist from what I cannot have I flipped through her booklet again a pamphlet of a multitude of parts of my personality intertwined with hers Well I can say I'm speechless for I speak words of nonsense for I speak words of inconsistency I was amazed when I saw it first I was amazed when I saw flipped through the pages saw my fairytale heroes depicted from movies in hand in hand with twixt the ones they loved but I let false hopes rise to peaks for I pictured that was me and... Well can you really blame me for wishing No...but I must admit I sound like a record played upon repeat but I must admit I cannot change face cannot rearrange my programming for I have no wires just tendons and ligaments Human I am a human a human lost in the stars and pools of Emerald I am nothing Scarlett Jade well she is a queen in my imagination Elegant, classy, tasteful, deceptive but intuitive so what am I well to be named for another day for I now sign off before I confuse myself any further before I ramble on about a train of thought I already lost before I let my imagination whisk me to a wonderland my alternate dimension where Scarlett Jade are within her pages tarzan and Jane Aladdin and Jasmine for she is my princess and I'm well, I'm just a peasant awaiting to be her prince
