Bitter Poem by RIC BASTASA

Bitter

Rating: 5.0


what is bitter than bitter
is a love that ends without the formality of
a goodbye.

it likes to be sweet, but there is no taste whatsoever.
it is like a film that ended in a total blackout.
no names parading on the screen. no ending.

people just leave and they wonder
what happens

a broken heart still thinking about a love
that is not really gone.

when we meet we know it is over.
no one says it with finality somehow.

unfinished business. the soul keeps coming back.
it has something to tell to the living.
but no one has always the courage to lend an ear.

you know that. what is there is only the usual fear.
the moment one sees, his feet keep running.
