This Could Be Us Poem by Mfonobong Ituen

This could be us
Before leaving to study
The algebra 'X'
Becoming my Ex

I keep hoping as I'm going
I glanced on the 'Y' formula
I asked why?
you said it all over

Now you're ruin
With solving what two could
Giving equations
With unequal feelings
You made your gimmicks
As I micmick

In your world
I got lost
Back to my world
Where expression is best understood
With present tenses
Letting go of past happenings

I got lost over again
Back in my world
I get the grammar
The X, Y and Inequality
Giving preference to none

You stand to 'Substitute'
The same Equation
There you got me erased
Choosing Amaka for the perfect 'Number'
In my world I saw the new 'Noun'
I shed a tear just like now

Still in my world
Basking around my smoky lamp
I exclaimedjust then I remembered
the question 4 answer
Taught by Mr. Mike
Exclamation!
The reality of my lost love
