Fallen

 

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻

by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo 

I was a little branch of an old oak tree,

And you were a bird on a flying spree, 

In search of a shade, chirping in sultry,

So I let you rest on me, all for free. 

My leaves sheltered you from the extreme heat,

And to show thanks, you chanted me a tweet.

I was astounded with your lovely skit, 

Wanted to hear more from you on repeat. 

I was your favorite branch as time went by.

You helped me bloom as pleasing as the sky, 

Offered you my acorns to eat and try, 

You stayed like you had nowhere else to fly. 

We've been like that like we're inseparable,

For years, I've known you being lovable.

You hurting me was quite unthinkable,

But I was wrong, things went off the table. 

Autumn came, my leaves slowly went falling.

You knew it, so you left without telling. 

I was hurt knowing that you're migrating. 

These leaves of mine plunged like I was crying. 

Then my twigs started falling on the ground,

Fallen twigs and fallen leaves were abound.

Nobody was there to catch them around.

Soil will cover them and they can't be found.

Letting You Go

Letting You Go
by Mark Jhon C. Oxillo


When I fell in love with you,
My world then turned to brand new.
I thought that you’re like heaven,
But you’re a headache in a sudden.

You said to me long time ago,
That “Change” will never be in you.
I've trusted all your words,
But why’d you left me in this world.

What had happened to us?
I thought this won’t last.
Is it all my fault,
Or you just don’t see my worth?

You are all that I wish.
You are all that I miss.
Red suddenly turned to blue,
And your love for me didn't grew.

Wherever you might around,
Just listen to this sound,
For this might let your heart awaken,
And so with your hard feeling.

But if you’re really invincible,
That the two of us is impossible,
I’m now letting you go,
‘Coz that's the best thing that I know.

Though letting you go
Is the hardest thing to do,
‘Coz in return of what I’ve done,
Just a glimpse and you’re all gone.

But even if it hurts,
I won’t make it worst.
Knowing that you’re happy now,
Makes me feel good somehow.

oOo
