THE RAIN THATS LEFT| An anthology of poems

END

I have breath,

And I have a heart.

I know it will pain

And I shouldn't even start.

•

You were someone I wanted,

But it was what I thought at that time.

Now I know I need you

With no place for lies.

•

I know it will pain,

And I shouldn't have started this thing,

This saga of love,

And living with hope.

That one day we both

Would not be just a joke.

•

A time when my name would end with yours

A time when your heart would beat with my thoughts

A time when we both would live under the same roof

But I found that we filled, our heads with lies

Neither could it be, you and I

Nor could the same house be called yours and mine

•

I have breath

And I have a heart

I knew it would pain

But my love had gone, far enough.

Which now will end,

When my breath and I

Have fallen apart.

-Min Hanna
