Udo Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 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.

Shawna Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I didn't respond to it initially because I'm all afraid of religious stuff anymore... I don't want to cause an uproar assuming something is if it isn't. But here's my thinking: I think she died, and that the other man is Jesus.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
