What Does She Know
In the distance
I heard you
use a bomb
to blow up my house
with your accomplice
then saw you run
with your girl but
to only look back
and ask,
“What does she know?”
And the evil glare
to go with it.
To me,
he was a tyrant
on the loose
a spectacle
in the making
as he laughed in my face
and stole my dreams
my whole life
and I told him
to shoo shoo
to run off into the sunset
with his girl but
he still took a look back
with the question
“What does she know?”
He didn’t know enough
despite everything he stole from me
it still wasn’t enough
for him
let alone anyone
to go where I have gone
to get what I have earned
to see what I have seen
to hear what I have heard
to do what I have done
to smell what I have smelled
they are too blind to see
the life I have lived
and only I have lived it
and will live it.
Too blind to see
I know what I know
because of the life
I have lived
not because I imitated
but because I have created,
making dead ends
something more
holy in nature
protecting you
in the false flames.
