You blast me open and then You stand back and watch My feeble attempts To deal with myself. Where do I turn In my now desperate need for love? You are not there. There is no one else to turn to For I have made you my Everything. And in my exhaustion From my desperate moments, I slip into myself And there I find God waiting for me To love Him to love me to love you Because you are the matchmaker. I thought He was leading me to you But, surprise surprise, You were leading me to Him. Kate McGahan
About This Quote

In the poem "You Blast Me Open and Then You Stand Back and Watch My Faint Attempts to Deal with Myself", the author is making a subtle statement that Love Is a Powerful Force that Changes People's Lives. In the first stanza, the author describes how he feels when his lover leaves him. He feels as if he is being torn open by his lover, which is a metaphor for being emotionally hurt. In the second stanza, he describes how he tries to deal with himself after being hurt by his lover.

He tries to block out the pain by drinking alcohol, but he finds that his attempts have been futile. In the third stanza, he notes how his lover was not there when he needed her to be. This image of having no one to turn to suggests that he has been left alone and unable to cope with his emotions.

In the fourth stanza, he states that he has made his lover his everything and in doing so, has made her responsible for all his feelings. The last stanza shows how, after drinking too much alcohol and feeling lost and alone, he slips into himself and finds God waiting for him.
