Tears, How Can I Refuse Your Tears? Poem by RIC BASTASA

as i was about to turn my back
from you
there was this silence that
never speaks
this void that keeps a
hurting space

you let out a cry
your mouth does not lie
your tongue keeps
the parting words

and the room had become as
lonely as ever
lovers parting
saying the last goodbye
after all those years
of sweet bonding

and then i unpacked my bag
and decided to be back in your arms
' i am not going away'

my hands caressed your hair
and then i wiped away your tears
