Week 32 Prompt: No Uncertain Terms

*Note about the song: Yes, I was born a Murray. No, I'm not related to any famous Murrays (that I'm aware of). Growing up, I was asked about pretty much any Murray with fame or infamy and what our familial relation was. Two of the most common questions: "Are you related to the singer, Ann Murray?" And, of course, "Ohmygosh, is Bill Murray your dad?!" Nope, but Brian is, and an elusive man is he. 

you ask about my father
but why do you even bother
probably won't meet him anyway
you want to know my surname
from when i was a young dame
been Murray since back in the day

now before you get excited
as i see you so delighted
let me tell you in no uncertain terms:
Bill Murray ain't my father, but Brian is

Brian keeps it quiet
while talking all day long
he'll always be happiest
with the baseball game on
he's rough around the edges
and he'll ask you lots of questions
just remember, Bill ain't my dad,
but Brian is

you want to know the stories
of my yesterdays and glories
you want to meet him all the same
now you know my surname 
from when i was a young dame
been Murray since my birthing day

Bill Ain't, But Brian Is

*Note about the song: Bit of a ramble inspired by an old bit of writing and a friend's recent break-up and the notion that even though it needed to happen, it still hurt. 

i speak, you listen
you speak and i listen
something has broken, shifted, and changed
i spoke my truth, i feel you did the same

we said we'll continue on
but we can't the way we used to 
we're too kind, too polite, too complimentary
oh we're masking all our heartbreak in this reverie 

(oooooooohs and woooooaaaahhhs for days)

we offer thanks and apologies
like our feelings are somehow too much
oh it's more than what we can give one another, darling
oh we need more than what we can give, oh darling

oh we were so kind
oh and we just kept trying not to cry
trying not to cry

and these words are true
they say that time will take away everything
but they can't take away these damn memories

and maybe, oh maybe,
someday, someday i will find
i will find it'll sting less
than it does tonight

maybe it'll sting less 
than it does tonight

wish you all the best
oh you wish me all the best
maybe we'll find true joy someday
maybe someday
