I Ceased Speaking For You.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is reason
that keeps the stability
of all these

did you not say that
it is the numbers that keep
towing the truth?

numbers cannot lie
mathematics build this
building where we
live now.

ah, you follow emotions
now where is it taking you?
from one land to another
you carry the same burden
of instability

you like this you like that
you love that but you love this
and you are completely torn
shred and dreaded

soon you will find nothing
beside you
sooner you will find no one
who loves you

it is reason that makes
marriages firm
it is the compass of reason
that makes boats arrive
at their destinations

i can no longer defend you
i ceased speaking for you....
