Kate Cornwell: Stories of my life

We Heard Something

Did the neighbors call Or was someone else watching Please don’t ask questions

Why didn’t you call When I gave you everything I didn’t ask why

I didn’t ask why But no one told me different I followed you home

Enemies waited No one tried to cut corners Pagan rituals

Forever forget I no longer need your love Breathlessly waiting

Refuse to be sad Otherwise we will be wild Do not tell me lies

While you were waiting I was watching you become My one and only

When you said goodbye I didn’t want to believe What you were saying

Please remember me I don’t want you to forget About anything

When the neighbors yell Everyone will come running Hoping for police
