I Can'T Breathe
I Cant Breathe
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
" A bit of prose from my earlier days of writing... I just wrote what I felt. "
This is one of my earliest pieces of poetry
I Cant Breathe
My God someone help me please
I can’t see….. I cant breathe
There’s a room full of air
But I cant breathe
I lie here in a ball afraid
To look up because I know
You’re no longer there
My Choice, was it the right one
Oh God I don’t know, I do know
I love you, I always have
I wanted to grow old with you
Why do I always have to listen
To myself, why cant’t I go along
For the ride, why do I rock the boat
I know I love you, but did you ever
really love me, it barely comes out
Of your mouth, it’s like pulling teeth
Your words of love for me should
flow freely..Without effort or thought
I didn't even have to think about it
Ever… I just knew.
After certain amount of time you
Just know, there’s no thought
You just know…. And if you
Don’t, well then there’s no more
to say is there?
I made a promise to myself
I would be the love of someone’s
Life… no less, and if I’m not
Then I should move on.
I have way too much to give
I give myself freely , openly
I give my all and I deserve no
less.
So why cant I breathe???
You were my best friend, I
would have been there for
you till the end of time.
We could have held hands in
the after life.
I know.I’m not your everything
you still pine for another
whether it be from the past…
Or in your Future.
I’m not the one you crave
So I must let you go…
I will be breathless for a while
again I may never smile, but I
wont be an after thought any longer
A stepping-stone to your real life
The one that you’re waiting for
instead of embracing what you have
now.
Good bye my love….Take Care
