Scott Murray Poems

The sun rises and casts the dreams away
But I can still hear my plea of why can't you stay
There are pieces of you strewn around the floor
The last remnants of a time you wanted more.
...

What do you see when you look at me?
Are you fooled by my smiles?
Or do you see horns growing out my head?
Do you cower in fear when I walk through the door?
...

She stares at his face as his eyes glisten over,
Reaches out her hand and pulls out a revolver,
She steadies her hand, finger on the trigger,
The metal makes him shake; her hand starts to quiver,
...

She makes me smile,
She makes me cry,
On the odd occasion she makes me sigh,
She is like a pale moon light in a darkened night,
...

You wipe a tear from my eye; you never could stand to see me cry
You say it's time to put it to bed, just kick it in the head
And that what we had has to die
My limbs are getting tired, but you have a magnetic pull which drags me forward
...

I woke up today alone in my bed
The sky outside was covered in grey
There was a single strand of hair on your side of the pillow
I wrapped it round my finger
...

I remember the look on your face as you smiled at me
So open, so hopeful, so full of joyful glee,
These moments keep playing as I wind back the clock,
Just begging the little hands to please just stop,
...
