Our meeting
My premature fall
My green youth swept away
Along with the wind I drifted
I landed
Right in your path of colourful blocks
You stopped
And picked me up
Belonged
You admired
My texture
You awed
At my beauty
You decided
To keep me
You opened your favourite maths book
And made me your favourite bookmark
Each Other
You studied
At the library
Till late night
I stayed by your side
You got sleepy
You flipped to page 2009
I smiled at you
And you smiled back
Can’t Be Without
I waited patiently
While you’re out at work
You made sure to remember
To check on me when you returned
I willed the breeze
To turn the page
Until I see your smile again
I would smile too
Yours
You’re the first one
You’re the last one
You’re the only one
I’ve smiled upon
I woke up to you
You woke up to me
I was yours
You were mine
Infidelity
Jokes about our first fight
And fights to come
Cruised through
And forgotten
Caught by the beauty
Of a butterfly
I strayed,
Guilty
The War
The end began
I returned
Heated
Stained by the sun
Afraid
But you took me back
Though dyed
You tried to smile at me
Roller Coaster Ride
What was done
Cannot be undone
I continued to age
Slowly losing my beauty
I changed
You changed
We changed
It was a rough ride
Winter Woes
Our page was less visited
We hardly smiled at each other
Screams went unheard
Silence roared
Spring came and left
Fall slipped in
We withered
As the cold enveloped
Friend
Your words
Your actions
Your silence
You released me
I couldn’t make it
I couldn’t take it
But I am thankful
I am grateful
Closure
We are strangers
Your words
Your silence
Still battling in my mind
I smiled my last
Broken
Into pieces
I let you go
