So Unlike Me..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

there was a time
when you are so in love
but you did nothing

there was that time
when someone was so in love
with you
doing everything and yet
just the same you
did nothing

it was more of letting things
be, letting people be,
letting all come and go
on the basic premise of
numbness

you do not mind, you have
nothing to do with everyone
with everything

i envy you, you are perfect
to me, you are never wounded

firm stone, nothing to do with
rain or shine

i envy you, so unlike me:
wounded, and bitter.
