​I cleansed my soul

and built a wall

around me.

It is easier to say

I don’t need you

than to beg you

to stay.

I wish I could ask for love

ask for the attention

But how can I?

How can I ask for something

that is not mine to have.

How can I ask for

the affection

when it’s not mine to keep.

How can I ask for

the smiles,

when that are not mine to share.

I see you with her,

Smiling

Talking

Laughing

You are hers

 to keep

and

hers to love.

You are her

and

she is all you.
