“She Is Your Hero”
by Kara Machowski
You are leaving me for her
your hair falls in front of your face
you sing “you are my sunshine”
the lyrics say I am not touching you like her
the old yellow house cracks
I am smoking a cigarette
while the skies are gray
you say she, her
she is your her
she is your hero
she is your heroin
She Is Your Hero is a poem belonging to a series written while enduring a relationship with an abusive addict. If you or anyone you know is dealing with addiction or abuse please visit these websites: Domestic Abuse / Addiction
