Who Is He?


Udo

Recommended Posts

I had a title and a theme; ten minutes later I had a rough draft. Editing gave me:

Who Is He?

Who is he?

Why can’t you tell me his name?

I know you go to his house every week

I know you love him more than me

When I asked you to be my wife

I wanted share all your life

I didn’t know all that entailed

I know that in the end I failed

I wish it had all come together

I wish we had loved for ever

I meant it, how much I love you

I could put no one above you

Who is he?

Why won’t you show me his face?

I think you hoped to keep him a secret

I think that’s something we both now regret

Oh, I know it’s nothing physical

And I know it can’t be magical

We once had a love so lyrical

When you left I went hysterical

Now he’s there and I’m here

You’re stuck I know you still care

Now he’s there and you’re there

I’m here. I guess I’m nowhere

Who is he?

Why can’t I realize his grace?

I let go, to his love I you commend

I hope I grow to love him in the end

Why has no one responded to this? I suppose I should ask myself the same question. I'm really fascinated by this piece. I don't know if it's all the religious imagery on the boards lately, but I'm thinking the other guy is God. Right? Or am I reading too much into it? Either way, I like it. Good work, brother.

You're exactly right. I'm agnostic and being rejected or dumped by women who require a particular religion is a common theme in my life. Getting a divorce because your wife has become a born-again Christian makes you wonder.
