Let Me Wear Your Shoes Poem by RIC BASTASA

i shall take a closer look of you
why are you filled with so much hate?
i like to understand every burst of your temper
why are you so unlike the rest? those who want to love
and be gentle like the softness of the green grass
under the skies,
i like to understand why you hate me
why you want to make me disappear
from your own point of view?
i like to stoop and listen
to every sigh and every word
that you do not utter

i like to be a part of you and be more
tolerant about your tantrums
you must ask me why. and i will tell you.

i like to think that you are such a lovable person.
i think, i love you.
