an intimate relationship which should never be broken

an intimate relationship which should never be broken

A Poem by Philip Gaber

 

Let me get something settled cause you’re gonna hear all kinds of stories about me.

 

Yes, I am a fallen man.

 

I was tempted by the serpent and I believed him when he said the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would make me wise.

 

So now I’m surviving �" by the sweat of my brow �" condemned to live an ordinary, human life. 

 

Just like you. 

 

Forever questioning my own personal commitment, my own personal faith, my own personal salvation while still hoping to alter my life for the better and discover the truth about who I am and why I’m on this earth.

 

Even as an invisible force keeps me from being free to live my life.
