Yours:Mine
They call me yours.
Referring to me by your name
Apostrophe ‘s’
Like I belong to you.
An item you’ve forgotten
Or have to pick up.
The issue is
That’s not true.
I’m not.
I’m not yours
And you’re not mine.
You of all people
Have made that clear.
But explaining it to them
Is annoyingly futile.
They’ll continue their teasing,
But only with me.
They call me yours
But I know they never call you mine.
