Sad Love Poem ~
He Has To Be Mine
by Maria H

It's not fair
I've given away so much love
Let other hearts be joined as one while mine was breaking in two
Sick of saying so many unanswered "I love you"s

I would love to say I'm done with love
But the bug keeps on biting till it hits bone
Hands tied together break apart
And only stares communicate my messages from the heart

I can't keeping letting go only to fall again
Only to let go again
Grip on to a new branch, more slippery than the last

I can't keep breaking only to pick up the pieces again
The more I rebuild myself the more I change
There really is no need to try anymore

It's just not fair
I've prayed for you
I've cried for you
And finally you came
Why must I give you away?

I just can't do this
I was in love once before
And I still have the deep dirty cuts to show for
You are supposed to mend them
Heal me
Help me
Love me

You are to be mine
Only mine
You are to see me
Only me
Please, why can't you just stay this time?
Why can't just see what you want, what you need,
in me?

No not anymore
Only waves from a distance
And black tears at night
Same old knives cut my dreams in half
And there is that stabbing pain in my heart
I loved you as best as I could
I just needed you to stay
Please just stay
Please just.....

What's the use?
I knew someday you would leave
Tell me we both knew what was going in your own head
Say sweet words about us being friends
Words that I must act out
A kiss on the cheek and a polite hello
I just don't have the strength

I'm broken this time
I'm giving up on you
Your not mine to hold
Mine to kiss
Mine to dream about
Mine to flaunt
Mine to cherish
But why?
He was to be mine
This one was mine this time
Not even this time
