Before You Go Away Poem by RIC BASTASA

before you go away
please return
everything that i
have given you.

return my kisses
my hugs and embraces
return my blanket
the warmth
i have shared with you
when you were
so cold
on that damp
room. Please return
them immediately

before you go away
please account
all the moments
i have given you

and if you are finished
all these undoing
you may go

rest assured
i am whole again
and love another one
much better than
you: ingrate!
