Goodbye Cutie Pie, Honey-Bunch Goodbye Poem by RIC BASTASA

sometimes how i wish
that i should have loved you

i like to be a dictator
in power to make me love you

how does it feel to be one?
one that sharpens feelings to pierce love?

how i wish i love you
how i wish to deny myself and love you forever

but it is not that simple
love speaks and love decides for itself

as though it is a self within this self
speaking upon its own terms and acting like a stranger

to me, and i am regretful, why it is not you?
for here am at mess with the person that i love

i am hurt but in love
i am destroyed but still in love

two faces of reason and emotion
a day and night in one revolution

i have to go now, goodbye cutie pie
honey bunch, i won't let you hurt me more.
