The Neighbor In A State Of Depression... Poem by RIC BASTASA

he had the bad motives
she knew it
when they make love
he overdoes it
she suspects something wrong
the more
when she is sleepy
he keeps touching her hands
saying i love you so much
she picks him up from the ruins
of his bipolar self
he was nowhere to be found
broke and broken
she knew it from the beginning
this man is her gold digger
she cooks for him
she washes his clothes
and keeps his secrets until one day
she burst into utter sadness
depression is back
she lost her fortune
and he is nowhere to be found.
