...Vice Versa..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

of course
you choose the
lesser evil
where good is
not there

it is not easy
when sometimes
what seems to be
good
hurts both of you

and so you choose
yourself
the lesser evil
between the two
of you

the waiting is
over
and we have discovered
the answer

i have tasted
the best in you
once, twice, thrice
and last night
i realized
how love can be
too deceiving

what seems to be
my pain
becomes your pleasure
vice
versa.....
