I Know
You are not mine
Not mine to claim
Not mine to miss
Not mine to love
My head knows
But my heart
She is another beast
She has made you hers
You live in her
Though you don’t know
I beg her to let you go
And claim only what is hers
But she is selfish
She sees you move
And speak
And laugh
And she falls for you
My selfish heart wants all things
truly beautiful
And can’t be swayed otherwise
She hoards lovely people
And sits on her treasure
And hopes they will remain only hers
We move through life full of love
Weighed down
By people who don’t belong
Collected over a lifetime
And held captive
Within our walls
