HER

HER

A Poem by Emily Murphy
"

I don't think there's anything worse than seeing the one you love, love another.

"

I see her kissing you in public and it makes me want to vomit up words that I never spoke

This must be a f*****g joke that two months later you’re looking at her

The way you looked at me and I’m bleeding inside but you can’t see it

So you probably think I’m full of s**t even you’ve slit me through the stomach and see

That all I do is bleed and bleed but still you turn around and you leave

 

I thought what we had was a seed that we planted in our backyard in September

Do you remember? But you came in with your stormy December weather and tethered

Up the ground and at that point there was no way around it, we died.

And f**k you, you lied and I tried to make things right even when you turned yourself dry

Then July came along and you told me I had it all wrong and that all the songs I ever wrote to you

Didn’t mean a thing

 

I almost gave you that ring I told you about on the phone that night when you were in Seattle

And you told me you wanted to settle and maybe start a little family

And I told you I’d give you anything and everything you wanted

It’s been months and I’m still haunted and taunted by the ghost of your love

Was I not enough? I know things got rough but you didn’t have to call my bluff

When I said you couldn’t find anybody better than me, but you see I was right

Because I guarantee at night when you’re frightened by the thunder outside

That she doesn’t hold you tight like I did, like I still do in my dreams

 

So rip me apart at the seams and watch me beam because I’d rather have your hands

Tearing me apart

Then spending one more minute playing with her heart
