I'm Not Yours

by princess.ceairra

Should have learned.

When I was younger, I used to place my head into my mothers lap as she read me fairy tales. She would always end the stories with, "And they lived happily ever after." I'd ask her what it meant to "live happily ever after?" And she'd say,"my love, it would seem that these characters are granted the fortunate gift of love. What a silly way to end a story because not everyone has that gift." For a brief moment, I saw the pain in her eyes.

So you see, it was never my fault

At a young age I was taught to never let love corrupt you.

To build up a wall.

So i apologize for my lack of knowledge

I'm sorry that I don't know how to find you in the dark.

I'm sorry that I don't know how to comfort you when you cry in my arms.

I'm sorry I can't find the right words to say when we're alone

But most of all, I'm sorry I never let you love me.

I pushed you away

And on the last night I saw you, My last exchanged words to you were,

"You should have known I would break your heart. I'm not yours. In fact I belong to no one."
