I'M Sorry Poem by RIC BASTASA

learned by heart
the story of the moth and
the fire

do not want to die
yet
sorry but i am not
catering to
this and that

got my life
and will not waste it
with you

sorry but i am on my own
now
as ever before
you're a trap
a quicksand

so sorry you can't get me
alive
got a life
lots of sunshine in here
fresh rivers
and air from the trees
blue clouds
wide sea
cool earth
beautiful house
green grass

tell me why do i have
to bet my life
on 20 minutes
of your
happiness?

i won't
you're a quicksand
and i am no fool
in here.
