NEVER MINE

So close, I could hear its heart beat

Beating to a silent rhythm only my heart could understand
All else become inane... mute as I moved to its sound
With each beat, it came closer
Reaching down into my soul
My shielded heart yielding to every advancement without hesitation
Our movements becoming more and more uniform
Dancing to the same tune... the rhythm of love
It felt heavenly

Forsaking all others, I concentrated on it
It was mine, and I his
All so new but oh! So right
With each passing moment we grew inseparable
Ours was a love... true love
I felt my confidence grow with each touch
My smile broaden at each word
My youthfulness multiplied with each laugh
A perfection that is love
I was invisible

My heart found light and all darkness like a mist, washed off
I drew near conquering all fear
Suppressing all negativity
Nearer I moved enchanted all the way
And I reach out... then it flew away
Without noticing me it flew right into anothers arms
My knees gave way as I hit the hard cold floor
The light in my eyes fade out

As I watched it walk away, comfortable in another arm

Picking up the pieces of my broken heart and ego
I got up
Too hurt to cry... too dry to care
Broken... again
Out of sight it is and out of life I am
That it was never mine
Sting harden than pins below the heal
But then, how do I cry for something that was never mine to begin with!!
