I once gave you a book
You turned it down at first glance
The book was my heart
You didn't give it a chance
The words crooked and slanted
The pages ripped and torn
The colors disenchanted
The expressions poorly drawn
But you could have taken your smile
And mended every page
Restored every withered idea
All of your words; center stage
My heart-shaped book is tragic
I'm rid of my patience
All your words in mine
Lost in translation
