My Own
My heart so full of you,
I wouldn’t even call it my own.
My mind overflown with your opinion,
I didn’t even have my own.
I hate hearing your voice come out of
my mouth.
I hate hearing only your voice,
and not the one I lost.
I never spoke for myself,
because I would lose you in what I thought was a bad cost.
You robbed me of my heart and mind.
knowing no one would like yours.
It’s my mistake I confused your selfishness
for love.
I guess I loved your heart too much,
to where I couldn't even love my own.
You left with what you wanted,
power and greed.
You left the good part of me in the dust,
You didn't want me, you wanted the
control over me.
I wish I didn’t let you have me,
I wish I just had spoken.
I wish I would’ve just seen,
my heart and mind were my own.
When I finally spoke my own heart
You left me all alone
You left me with scars of indiscretion
And made another woman feel like
She did not have her own.

When writing this piece, i really wanted to write my friends story about her ex love life. She never felt like she could speak out and I asked if i could write a poem about it and she said I could. I think this piece really gives a look into how the relationship really was.
