To The Sadness Of Everyone And Everywhere. Poem by RIC BASTASA

To The Sadness Of Everyone And Everywhere.



if only i could love
you, i should have done
that years ago,

i only said the words
which my heart never
really meant,

i am only copying the
humanity angle of that
novel which you wrote
years back,

i never loved you
i was never honest
never that daring to
tell the truth,

your love was always
greater than my lies,
your pain much deeper
than my hypocrisy,

you are such a lovely
and passionate woman
which i had taken
advantage of, for as
always your love was
always greater than
mine to the other whose
name i have never
revealed to you,

the heart is as always
unreasonable, my mind
wants to love you yet
my heart had always
vehemently refused it.

i am so sorry for all
this mess, i would have
asked for forgiveness,
but you had already left
for good, always carrying
with you the sweet memory
of me,

now that you have settled
on your own chosen path with
a family of your own, i say,
i am happy for you, now that
i have remained lonely throughout
my life, let me say,
let it be, for i so deserve it.

in weighing the scales, i have
not lived well, a life in a lie,
a life without passion, a leaf
floating on the river, carried
by the current to the sadness of
everyone and everywhere.
