Metaphor

Metaphor
May Lin

You were once mine, now I am the outsider of your world.
 Uplifted by you, I never used to frustrate. A Transgressor, I
am. Murderer, my name. Force you to death. We used to
         hold hands,                                                    coldness now on.
         That year,                                                        we meet joyous.
         Years later,                                                     tears stained my
        Face.                                                                   Taste of Sugar
                                                                                                                 You once were.
                                                                                                                 Replaced by bitt-
                                                                                                                erness since that
                                                                                                                day. Time freezes
                                                                                                                that day, I saw you
                                                                                                                smiled. Last quest-
                                                                                                                ion I asked –“If time
                                                                                                                went back till that
                                                                                                                day would you still
                                                                                                                be my teacher?”
