Forgive me


Forgive my shortcomings,
I am but a fool and a female one at that,
forgive me for trying your patience
by existing in your presence,
forgive me that I will not do
and never can suffice for anything,
that I am running short of energy
and always end up getting tired when you love me.
Forgive me for being such a bore,
but please don't cease to love me.
As long as you love me I can bear with anything
and even violence and sufferings with any patience,
and that is all I ask for
and will give you anything in return,
if only you can forbear with my limitations.
I post this message with an invisible dove
carrying it on the wings of nowhere to nowhere,
and it does not bother me if it is read or not.
All that matters to me is that it is written.

I find this poem disturbing, it reads as if someone has lost all will - its wonderfully written, yet leaves me with a feeling of extreme disquiet
