The MessengerA Poem by Starr
Go shoot the messenger
Who volunteered his time To come and ruin your day And watch as you break apart. Who does not believe that you deserve To mourn the loss of your delusion in peace, but shrugs with a roll of the eyes And reminds you he had nothing to do with it. He did not. He only came to watch the crazy woman over react And reassure his dominance and superiority. He waves his hands carelessly To calm one who will not be calm And gives up easily Laughing and making note to tell the others all about it Assuming he’s out of ear shot But not really caring. Go shoot the messenger With his selfish words and vampiric use of emotion He doesn’t care He never will Go shoot the messenger © 2014 Starr |
