Drowning In The Deep... Poem by RIC BASTASA

once, i have to tell myself,
and i could have told myself
a long time ago,

i regret having you,
i could have chosen another
the one i ever loved
and who really love me (but she
was gone too early


or taken by another
since i was too slow and undecided)

or was it because
i did not really love her the way she
loved me more

ah, never mind, i regret having you
because you are too shallow for me
and i am drowning here
in the deepest part of me.
