Paper: A Morning Poem

A tree by Jessy Ismoyo

I made so many grammatical errors

Probably because my mind was in terror

How could you cheat?

Probably it happened when the expectations did not meet

For your heart was attacked, you blamed the syntax

Phrases and clauses

All was mixed into faces and mazes

Instead of making one praises, you left it with blazes

I wrote for you
I wrote to your being,
Even when you were complaining
I wrote you in sentences,

A never ending sentences,

Lifelong sentences,

Thousand sentences,

In poems,

Short stories,

Even novels,

As my essence

You truthfully said that it was repetance

It did not seem to make any difference

So,

herelies silence

In the end,

your presence fostered only vengeance

while I was asking only for acceptance

Love was written in piece of paper

But you already said 'See you later'

why would not you give me any favor?

It was only piece of paper

For God's sake,

It was only piece of paper

Why did not you keep her?
