Back To Back We Faced Each Other
By Shericka Murphy
I think the sun sets in his eyes
I think he got wings and that sometimes he flies
I hope he never dies.
And He's so wise--
I think love swims in his soul
He said I make him whole
Man love can really take a toll.
I think he loves everything
And I think the man can sing.
Happiness is all he can bring.
And I think the flowers grow cause' he plants them for me
I think the waves rise because he swims in the sea
And he can be hot and cold, just like tea.
He aint' broke but the love he gives is free.
The richest man I ever did know
And The man moves with the smoothest flow
And man he makes my love grow.
And he makes fun of my big toe
But he loves me though
I know so--
I also think the moon lights the earth cause' he told it to
I think he's the reason why the cows go moo
I think he's the reason why everything does what it do
And I think he knew--
That I loved him when he first came on the scene
I think that's why he stays so clean
You know what I mean
He knows how to make me feel like a lady
And he he never be actin' shady
He didn't ask me to love him, he made me
Cause' I think his heart is made of gold
His bruises are new but his pain is old
Or so I was told
He took my flesh and he began to mold.
I officially belong to him
And we both love to love when the lights are dim
And we don't care about them--
Or what they have to say
We do what we wish, and we wish what we may
And it's okay--
And we can sleep outside and be alright
We can hold each other just as tight
As the night--
Falls around us, and we can hear his mother
Yelling crazy things at his brother
And back to back we faced each other

Shericka Murphy Poem
Pouring Water On A Drowning Man
By Shericka Murphy
I try to do just what I can
To look at him and see a man...
As I boil my anger in a frying pan
Pouring it on a drowning man.
And Im just as sick as I can be
And Im hurting here as he can see
And I boil my anger in the sea
And I pour it on the man drowning in me.
He's falling like the tears from my chin
He's feeling the feelings that I carry within...
And I watched him try and break my heart again,
And I watched him as he drowned in sin.
And the aching I feel from the hole in his heart,
Is just like my body is ripping apart
When you feel like this you don't know where to start
What does it feel like to drown in the devils art?
What does it feel like to to treat me like I don't live?
After all of the love and the body I give
I mean I feel pierced in the heart with a shiv
How does it feel to not drown in the love I give?
To go under in hatred that I have steamed,
To leave your world in ways that you would've never dreamed
To find out that I am not as weak as I seemed...
And the sparkle in your eye has not once gleamed...
But the light from me to you had always beamed.
And when I saw me pouring water on a drowning man...
The very same water that was my anger in a frying pan,
My eyes told me that I'd done all that I can..
Because the more I saw him....The less he was a man....

Shericka Murphy Poem
Koffee
By Shericka Murphy
He be the Kream to my Koffee
My Butter Kream Toffee
And when he takes his hands off me...
I can't breathe as clear
And I think I can't even hear
And from my right eye falls a tear
Put your hands back on me I say
And don't let me go for as long as we lay
Cruise me and Bruise me, it's all okay
I aint in pain but I may be hurt
I wipe my tears and blood on your shirt
And we lay our bodies in the dirt
And I fall asleep with your kiss on my cheek
I close my eyes and I hear you speak
And we lay out there for almost a week
Not even this could tear us apart
Not even this could break up our heart
This isn't where we end, This is where we start
You whispered all of that into my ear
You also whispered that I should have no fear
I love it when your love is near
Is what I whispered back to you
I also whispered that I love everything you do
It was the woods, the car, and just us two
As we lay lost in this place so cold
Tight to my body is what you hold
Love is beautiful is what I was told
And God knows it was'nt no lie
You make me so happy that I start to cry
You know why---
Glass shattered everywhere and peirced my skin
But It could never reach what I carry within
And I can't even explain the feeling I felt when...
I saw the lights flashing from afar
I looked at you sleeping, and then I looked at the car
I looked back at you and I feel just how still you are
The lights got closer and a voice called out
I screamed and yelled, but you didn't even shout
I shut my mouth and I began to pout
You were so quiet that I began to smile
I realized I had not felt your heartbeat for a pretty good while
And if you leave me like this I don't even know if I'll....
Ever love again
Not another man
I don't think I can
No I don't think I can..
Ever love again
Not another man
Because he be the only Kream to my Koffee
My Butter Kream Toffee.
And when they took his hands off me...
The breath had left me....Softly...

Shericka Murphy Poem
Differences
By Shericka Murphy
I can't help but to tell you
That me and you are not the same
And all the time that we are together
I don't know who is the blame
Seriously sometimes I can't love you
Because sometimes it's just to hard
And sometimes I feel like leaving you
And leaving you with this card
Maybe things seem fragile
And maybe time sells short
But sometimes I feel like you've left me
And sent me your last resort
Being in love with you
Can break anyone's heart
And being in love with you
Has torn my soul apart
And crying doesn't help anything
But praying...it helps a lot
Sometimes I can be very cold with you
But inside I really feel hot
And days I lock the door
And you look through the hole for the key
And I've told you there is nothing to look for
But you look and don't know what you see
So please stop all this craziness
And stupid actions of the mind
I wish you would have never promised me
That to me you would always be kind
I know were two different people
But our minds still think the same
The whole time were together
We think were playing a game
You know the both of us have a heart
Or maybe the both of us don't
There are some things you will do for me
And there are some things you just won't
Like when i ask you to just care for me
You're caring for someone else
I guess that makes the both of us
Just caring for "Yourself"
Me, I'm just a person
But I don't know exactly what you are
I remember you used to tell me
I was your shining star
I've had it with all your lies
And I hate when you leave everyday
You know sometimes when you walk out that door
I really wish that you would stay
I really want us to stop fighting
But I don't want us to be friends
I just want this to be over
I just can't wait until all of this ends
You might think it'll work with some chocolate
And you might think I'll smile for a rose
But I hope you realize just how wrong you been
And It's because of the Differences you chose
