Never Yours
A Poem
hello again —
we meet on a night like this,
stardust sprinkled in the sky
as we pretend we’re just fine
even though we’ve broken each other
enough to know what hurts the most.
but we knew
our secrets couldn’t last,
not in the light of day —
and we know better now, don’t we,
than to be lured by each other’s words
and tamed by all our fickle promises?
the truth of it
is that I never allowed
myself to fall hard
because being wanted was enough,
though I never wanted to be claimed,
not when I could lose myself to it all.
never yours —
it bothered you, didn’t it,
how I could separate myself
from you each and every time
without feeling the hurt of it
no matter how hard you tried to bruise?
because we were
daggers to each other,
the wounds to the words,
the bite without any of the truth,
so cruel while being so…
