Metamorphose

It’s hard to tell myself it’ late.

My mind is busy painting us

At our first romantic date

As we were lying on the grass.



You were so handsome, so naïve!

I loved your smile, your hazel eyes.

We laughed, I held you by the sleeve

Awaiting for the sun to rise.



You’re not the one I used to know.

Your eyes are full of black sarcasm.

The distances between us grow

Turning to a hungry chasm.



There’s so much anger in your move,

Anxiety has signed your face;

You have so many things to prove,

So many people to disgrace!



I’ve loved a man who used to shine.

You’re someone else. Who are you now?

A soul of coal with lips of wine.

You have become a beast, but how?



I dream I’ll change you back one day.

You’ll learn to love instead of hate.

And so I dream, I hope, I pray;

It’s hard to tell myself it’s late.
