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?”
excellent use of structure for poetic effect. I liked reading your poem.
