Someone Who Never Drops You Poem by RIC BASTASA

you want to belong
but they never belong to you

so what do you do?
you go back to a room of your
past, you open that door and feast on remembrances
you make your own coffee
and hold it for your own sipping
all these done
with you alone, but you are never alone
as you begin to know a self which you
have almost forgotten

for years you have taken
this for granted
because you are always
together
and you even think that you are one
and that there is no other

others have learned it before you
did, shaking your hand with your own hand,
answering your own questions,
having a good conversation with yourself,
and finally
discover that, as others have
dropped you,
this time, you have yourself,

someone who never drops you
someone you can not drop too.
