Never Meant To Be

Colliding through social circles, thrown together, combining A commotion of emotions, now entwining, forever binding Almost kin to craving, more than yearning, more than hunger Scared to close her eyes so she won't miss him any longer Lurking in the shadows, undercover in the gloom Jaundiced eyes make an entrance, then never leave the room. There never was another who could sleep beneath her skin Narrowing his eyes and mind, she was never let back in Her body lay a damaged heap beneath the barriers he built She pleaded as he teased and played, plagued by her own guilt Tantalized her hopes and dreams, what could and might've been Made her feel like the persecutor, but wouldn't set her free Suggestively, he seduced then made excuse after excuse A hallowed day, the day she woke and declined any more abuse He's a stranger of no use, a squatter in her sentiment Every picture, song, a constant reminder this was never meant Never meant to be 3rd November 2011
