A Possible Explanation For The Cause Of Chest Pain Poem by RIC BASTASA

The pain is on the left side of my chest
And runs to the other half of my arm
Sometimes it settles in my hand

I think I know why
On the left side is the woman who lives
With me
On the other half of my arm
Is another one

She runs to my hand so I may hold her
For all the days of my life
But I can’t I just can’t,
It is not simply possible

But above all these
The pain lingers at the center
Of my heart
Because I have not offered
My heart
Like a ripe mango, my heart,
To the real one
Who deserves it because
She came first
Before I have known
The meaning of lust
Forever she will last
And the pain is never gone.
