Forgive Me Poem by Marea Johnson

What will it take to satisfy this desire in me?
Your kiss only pacifies it,
your love won't make it go away;
So you see, it's a space you cannot fill.

I don't blame myself, so why should I blame you?
This space was here long before you were.
Don't worry though,
I know where you're coming from.

I have to look inward for a solution,
nothing on the outside can help me now
But it seems that one cannot function without the other.

Do you understand what I mean?

If you do, it's miraculous.
If you don't, it's expected.

You offered so much, and I took it.

Forgive me for being impulsive.
