Today I Should Have Told You Poem by RIC BASTASA

today i should have told you
something so true
something so painful

something that can make a twist
of our universe
the planets may fall
and stars explode
the meteors may regret
their long tails of light

today i should have told you
about you and me

i could have told you about a river
that changed its course
and left an island of loneliness
at the middle of that deep blue part

but i changed my mind
there is something in you that is not prepared
you are the flower still blooming
at the height of this drought
and i am the cloud that simply vanished
i do not contain any rain
i am afraid you do not notice this
i am nothing i am useless
