The Cure Of This Fear Of Being Alone.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the fear of being alone

is finally cured.
he gave bread
using his hand
the recipient bit
his arm.

he fell in love
and thought the other
loves him
but it was a nightmare
the other finally
shows its true color
and it was all about
money and nothing but
money and use and
exploitation

he seeks a friend
and there was one for
the moment
until it faded with
betrayal and rumor

and so he finally decided
to find the cure for this fear
of being alone

and it is here
found within his heart
and embedded in his
solitary soul

love yourself, Sir,
pamper it, Sir,
befriend it, Sir,
be it your company, Sir,
Like a shadow.
It is you Sir, loving yourself,
your friend forever
from home to tomb.
