The Heart That Loses Its Grip On Love Poem by RIC BASTASA

you speak of revenge
for how long will you speak
about it,

your heart beats for something
else for someone
long lost
and never comes back
to you

your heart captured in the hands
of someone you detest
you speak of
freedom you speak of a heart
that wants to see
the end of the beginning

now, i understand, how is it
when your heart
loses a grip on love
its hands must have wanted
to hold on
to a double-edged knife
bleeding
waiting

dreaming of another
beginning to
this end
