I need to write a dot, not a comma, To our book, in which I've never been beloved, But was a memory, a temporary guest, With little space you gave me in your chest. Your life goals are only hedonistic, What made me feel not quite optimistic. Cannot be a sailor, cannot leave the shore: You, on my life-boat to face a storm. My absence won't be hard, won't be a test, As a new toy will appear on your desk. This for you, is enough for my replacement, Since I had zero chance to become your heart’s rudiment!

On the Finality of Punctuation
I need to write a dot, not a comma, To our book, in which I've never been beloved, But was a memory, a temporary guest, With little space you gave me in your chest. Your life goals are only hedonistic, What made me feel not quite optimistic. Cannot be a sailor, cannot leave the shore: You, on my life-boat to face a storm. My absence won't be hard, won't be a test, As a new toy will appear on your desk. This for you, is enough for my replacement, Since I had zero chance to become your heart’s rudiment!
(I appreciate dear Frank Pryor for the review and important comments)
