Murder Me, Honey Poem by Gary Diamond

if i believed you i'd take your gesture as a sign.
a sign that something ain't right.
believe me honey this is a murder
you might want to witness.
i saw the rerun on cable TV and it desensitized me.

that's how it goes these days
people are too self-obsessed to care.
violence crashes down around your ears
and all you can do is pretend to cry.
why stop there, why stop anywhere.
why stop at all.

murder me honey
make me bleed for what i believe in.
wake my honey
tell my thoughts what am i thinking.

you found your way in.
made yourself at home.
you live for the moment.
you're a little like me.
in some ways i bought into your bullshit.
in some ways i believed every word you said.

so murder me honey
take me down and make me cry again.
i'm still standing honey
but only by the grace of God.
