I breathe the air....

by Mr Rhee   Apr 19, 2008


I wonder what has happened to me.
The one I love is so unhappy being with me.
It's not supposed to be this way.
Knowing this brings hurt and anger to myself, from within.

Why are the decisions I make always the wrong ones?
I didn't mean to hurt her the way she says I have.
Even I say these days, if only I had done things a little differently.
If I had, then maybe we wouldn't be putting each other thru Hell everyday.

I look at the gifts I have been given these last few years, and I think I've had all that I could have ever asked for.
I just keep losing everything, one way or another.
Someday, things will change, and I'll make her happy, at last.

I look at the gifts the world has given me,
and I hope to pass them on to the ones I love.
I look at the gifts God has given me,
and I hope to be worthy of them.

I breathe the air, it fills my lungs, and it is sweet.
I let it go, back to the world, and to God.
I listen to the rain, the wind in the trees, and it relaxes me.
I give it back to the world, and to God.
I watch the sunsets, the colors in the sky, and my heart smiles.
I give it back to the world, and to God.

I look down at the hole that will serve as my grave.
It waits for me, beckons me, pulling me in.
I've given everything back, that I don't deserve anymore.
I've given it back to the world, and to God.

I wonder, after what I have done to hurt, and sadden her,that I can't go back and change for the better,
if this grave of mine is deep enough.
Deep enough, so that the world... and God, cannot hear me cry.

    This poem has everything that I would ask for in a love for

    It says to me, do I have to give up being me to be loved by you

    Having suffered through this dilemma myself I can really relate

    The metaphors relating to Gods uconditional love is often compromised
    This makes erotic love somewhat as painful as your poem reflects
