I Miss You Too Poem by RIC BASTASA

today, something is broken,
the pieces shattering all over the floor
a drinking glass just fell

my feet are cautious, getting too defensive on those
which can possibly hurt, and so is my heart,
too numb in fact, but still feels
wanting to at least beat and show that it also knows how to survive

a wound graduating into a full scar,

there are no little things here that remind me of you,
your photo with your dedication and signature
had long been burned,

i burned it
alone,

when the wound was still fresh
when pain was yet a jumping frog,

this time however, the rain comes unexpectedly,
something unpredicted by the
weather bureau

i am looking for a black umbrella
this i remember only when it rains
something so important in my life

one that does not want to get wet
and feel the cold
and the dampness of my existence,

and i remember you beside me
there was that rain and we were so
warm and close and

true, oh, yes, i hate to admit this
i still miss you.
