My Last Reminder Poem by RIC BASTASA

i hope i must have told you about a certain story
of the look-out when he first made his way
to the door of freedom when he said finally
when the movie ended:
that he
who holds the money holds the power.

and so my dear, now that i have given you all the money
i have inside my pockets
go

go and be free from my hands and arms
go
go and be yourself with the wind and the sea
do not look back

do you know how Lot's wife was turned to salt
when she looked back?

go and free yourself from me
do not proclaim that love that you have been hiding
go

go and dance under the sun of freedom
leave me

always remember that: now that you hold the money
keep that power

go
i have known you
i have seen the eyes of your greed

go
that place is yours and i shall live in my own place now.

powerless
in the realization that you never loved me.

go
let me keep the pain, do not ever look back
for now
it is my own time to die and be buried in the land of my regrets.
