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 By Debbie Kelly~ 2006

"7"...I read this poem DM-K, after 2 days of constant work and 2 hours sleep, then going to the after-hour spot to buy some liquor on Sunday...then, in my exhaustion, trying to relax-picked a fav poet--you were the toss of the dice! I told myself, "I just want to consume a poem"!...randomly, I chose this one!..."Tell me God does not work in mysterious ways"?!...read word for word, out loud, and felt the pain resound, not from you yes, you too, but from me...my pain, my eternity...SH*T-WHEW!!//ME
