The Cave Woman.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am silent
i listen to you
i smile
and you said
all the words
to convince me
to do what you
want me to
do....

do not
underestimate me
i may love you
and i may say i may
love you forever

but i have a mind
of my own
my head above my heart
and when the
time comes when i
say it is over
then it is over

and i know very well
the way towards
the light in the middle
of this tunnel


i know myself
and without any notice
i go where
i really want to


alone in this journey
i whistle
to the tune of my own
song

away from the cave
the home you love.
