Expectations

lamentably! contemplations
thou ruined the world
You appose multitudes
Thus far aloof… poles apart
you the justification to twinkle
you the justification to woe
Thou brings blithe
Thou carry of bliss
Thou motivate to live
and here living cheerfully
eventually;
making one pass away
pricing a soul
pricing a communication

Alas! expectations
you smashed the cheers of heart
you smashed the bloom
you ruined the humane
you ruined the affinity

woefully! expectations
wish you had never homed me up
wish you have never homed me up
