This is a poem about love that is not meant to be
YOU ARE NOT MINE

I have lost my mind, and soul too
I’ve lost my sight and cannot see
Darkness is slowly swallowing me whole
This love has blinded me

I gave my love to you
Gave it unconditionally
I handed you my heart and
then handed you the key
Blind I was to gift you my love
But it is not to be

This sadness seems like it won’t end
I hide my tears in shame
My heart and soul tormenting me
I only have myself to blame

I let you in, I set you free
To be part of my heart, my world
That love I gave you happily and
completely

But its slowly fading, this love
I sit at it’s deathbed, it tries to fight 
I plead for its mercy
but there is no relief in sight

And now with a shudder
I cannot deny

You don’t belong to me
You are not mine

I will mend, time will heal
My tears will dry
But for now, just let me cry

I mourn my love for you
that’s now lost and fading
I have to watch it die
The truth slowly sets in, I realize

I am not yours
and
You are not mine.
