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.
