Parting Ways Poem by RIC BASTASA

When we finally part ways
I must have done right
When I hurt you
When I look at you again
In a different way
Not very much like
The true love that
I once felt

When you undress
The nude body has no more use
Of me in this newfound
Loneliness
Our souls now
No longer understand the true meaning
Of our feelings
We shall now fly as transparencies
On different directions
Under the cover of darkness
I am still me
Unbroken but a little bit colder
