I Like To Keep The Feeling Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am wasted on some feelings

i like to keep them but they always end up
consumed
gone
lost
evaporated with no mark left for me to understand
or recall

how i wish i could have written that feeling
of
love

writing them faithfully like a devotion
but
i couldn't

my eyes are covered by tears and they cannot see
and my hands tremble at the moment of recalling

on wasted feelings
i must thrive
alone, without you, without your memory,

i muster courage
to live without meaning at all
