Wendy Murphy Poems

So what if I’m still in love with you
My heart never really left you
Numb since you left
Starved and depressed
...

Why can’t we go into a relationship with eyes wide open
Instead of finding out after you’ve already chosen
You see the real person after a few months of dating
Never knowing the risks you’re contemplating
...

When all you've been able to do is cry
When that man can look you in the eye
and not provide the comfort you seek
making you more than a little meek
...

I’m fighting for something that doesn’t exist
And ignoring the fact that there’s no real prince
We’re led to believe with childhood fairytales
That there are knights on white horses
...

I’m not weak but I’m finding it hard to be strong
I’m sick to my stomach
I can hardly breathe
I don’t expect understanding
...

Pulled like the force of a hurricane
Spinning out of control
Waiting, needing, forever pleading
For my attention to call their own
...

Too blind to see
The chaos you caused
Normality freed
As you walked away from it all
...

I wish I could go back in time to the little girl I once was
Just a little do over to be someone that I loved
Precocious but naïve in so many ways
How I wish I could go back to those simple days
...

Had I paid closer attention
I knew we wouldn't fit
instead of making a tough time of it
would've seen the pattern and quit
...

Lord, I put my life
In the palm of your hands
I’m tired of the games
What’s your plan?
...
