Like You Were Mine

I missed you with a burning flame and fire Like you were mine. Though when I knew you I had no desire To have you, once gone, sunken in the mire I missed you as if we were intertwined. I’ve since let go and seen that I was wrong, And now I know that I will be just fine As I was all along, Though you weren’t mine. While learning from my Great Mistake, I wondered how The friendship that I fought to make Was, on your part, so wholly fake. I did not see them then, so take a bow - Though visibly scrawled in your eyes, In plain sight written on your brow, I loved your lies, Though I don’t now. Your tell was clear, and presently I spoke it and So there what I spoke bravely Became regret; so solemnly I watched as taken from my hand And stripped away from heavy heart What I’d fought for, this reprimand There took from me And broke apart. Now that was long ago, and far Away behind. I have no scratch, no bruise, no scar But hope that wherever you are You keep me written in your mind, Forgiving me for this, and whole Are you. For I know you’re the kind A peace to find To bless your soul.
