Irish Girl Poem by Angelica Duardo

I am not afraid of her
Is her absence what makes this worst
I can’t compete with her ghost
This will never work if you’re still in love her

You met her in the meadows, I know
You told that story before
But it’s been weeks now since she’s gone
Find a new love, find it in me

You say you love me,
That is true what you feel
But is it real?

Do you love me
Like you love you Irish girl?
Do you need me
Like you need the air she breathes?

I never met her
But you’re the best I ever known
We belong together and that I know
Find a new love, find it in me

Maybe I’m the one you need to forget her
She’s gone but you’re still aching for her
You still remember that you met her in the Irish meadows
With her hair being blown away by the windy weather

She was magical, your Irish girl
Her eyes told stories you had never heard
She was captivating, it took only one stare
And then you fell, you fell in love with her

Do you love me
Like you love you Irish girl?
Do you need me
Like you need the air she breathes?

Everytime you call me friend I melt away
And the only thing I can think of is her
She has captivated you with only one stare
Is her un-called absence what makes this worst

Is too soon to know when will you let her go
But you never had her, she was never yours
You’re still in love her though she doesn’t know
It’s time for you to find a new love in me

Please love me
Like you love you Irish girl?
Won’t you need me
Like you need the air she breathes?

You saw her only once, your Irish girl
But that was more than enough to fall for her
Your Irish girl with pearl-tone skin
She is the goddess against which I can’t compete
