My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Already There

9/1/2017

​This is a poem I wrote in 2014. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This one I imagine set to the tune of Every Breath You Take by The Police.

​You sent me away
Said we couldn't play
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

You took away all I had
And you hurt me so bad
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

One day you'll see
That you want me
As always, best of luck to you
In everything you do

You won't listen at all
You don't return my calls
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

You play mind games
And spread lies in my name
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

I don't want to make you feel bad
The last thing I ever want is to make you sad
It hurts me even to mention it
Just agree and I won't say it again
Forgive yourself as I've forgiven you
There's nothing more you ever need to do
I've already forgotten all about your sin
I've done it before and I'll always do it again

My aid you spurn
And to your idols you turn
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

My temple you've defiled
Your injustices you pile
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

You kill my friends
And the prophets I send
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there

You took things too far
Now I wear your scars
You can't get rid of me
Not that easily
I'm already there
