Well, "A Dagger to Her Heart" was written purely out of anger and frustration. A "best friend" had started dating a guy that I liked and kept denying it despite reports, questions, and comments from mutual friends that they had seen the two of them together. He even came over to the girl's house while I was over there. The girl kept denying that she was seeing the guy.
I wrote this poem after she told my father that she thought I had tried to run over her with my car. Now, I know I was angry, but I am not about to go to jail for manslaughter behind a man. My father came home all nervous and scared. He asked me about it. I told him, "Trust me daddy, if I wanted to hit her, she wouldn't have any question as to whether or not I was trying to hit her. I wasn't even thinking about that girl."
I tripped out. I couldn't believe the drama. I became feed up and had to release my emotions, so "A Dagger to Her Heart" was written. I felt a lot better.Labels: 2002, Inspiration |
