HERA Poem by Emily MurphyI 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 © 2015 Emily Murphy |
