» Poem: Enemy
Enemy
written by Dhirsti

lying in my bed at night
holding my lover oh so tight
i wonder if this is the time
or if this is to be a night of crime
will he ask me to marry him
or is his heart oh so dim
he tells me i'm his one and only
that when he's with me he never feels lonely
he says i make his heart so glad
then why does he get so very mad?
sometimes i lay and recap my life
i wonder if i really should become his wife
i know i want to wear the ring
that'll make my heart begin to sing
but i'm not quite sure how he feels
i feel the shadow of celibacy on my heels
why does he scream, why does he hit me
why does his heart belong to me?
how could i have fallen in love with such a violent man?
my mother warned me once but then i didn't understand
and now i lay in a hospital bed
with bruises and cuts to my head
yet even in this hard drunken state
when i think of him i know my fate
even though he hurts me so
he always makes my heart begin to glow
but when i think of the terrible things
my heart then no longer sings
i really do love him dear
and as i am, my heart also knows fear
what will happen to my eternity
and why do i have to love a loathed enemy?
