Someone else

I got you,
you were under a spell,
haunted by a lack of worth

I thought – this could work

I thought –
you’ll never gather the strength to dig deep,
you’ll never find places where I’m weak

I thought –

I’ll be safe and in control

You’ll be mine, but I’ll never be yours

–

In time, your heart,
for some reason, grew

You,
with your new-found strength
started to see, in me,
pieces of yourself

Then decided to leave

and love someone else
