Powder K-H Poet Free verse

Not Yours

“Mine,” you say, but you torture me every day. 

“Mine,” you say, but how am I yours if you don’t care either way? 

 

“yours” I say, because I don’t want you to go away. 

“yours,” I say, because to me, you’re like the light of day. 

 

You hurt me, but I need you. I hate you, but I heed you. 

You know me, and I love you, 

Because that's what you made me think I'm supposed to do. 

 

You ruined me, but without you, I can’t breathe. 

Staying away from you is hard, but to be safe I have to stay far. 

I’m not yours anymore.
