Once You Belonged To
Me
The invitation you extended
me
Gave me hope that we could be
friends.
Something I had dearly longed
for
Since we reached
our final end.
I came to you with a
belief
That we could finally
achieve
Something we never
possessed
During the years
you belonged to me.
Such surprise awaited me
there
With your shameless desire for
me
Bringing back the memory
of her
When you still belonged
to me.
You enticed my very
soul
To feel your arms of
love
Yet I remembered the
pain
It took me so long to
rise above.
With your alliance now
estranged
You turned and reached for
me
Yet I couldn't let it
happen to her
For now you don't belong to
me.
