Refusal Wasn't Enough
My world seemed so small.
My heart seemed unbreakable.
My feelings seemed so solid.
Then... I met you.
Life came crashing down around me, and I didn't care.
Nothing existing beyond you.
Your voice was all that I listened for.
Your face was all that I saw.
Everything about you made me smile.
My mood lightened with everyday that I saw you.
I brought down my guard.
I opened my soul to you.
Then... things went bad.
You asked me for more than I could give.
You wanted to say those three words.
I wasn't ready for them.
I didn't even know if I wanted to hear them.
I only wanted to run.
I guess, in the end I should have.
My worries were intensified when you claimed me.
I'm not a piece of property!
You don't own me!
You will never own me!
Your advances fell on deaf ears.
Your hands fell where I wished them not to go.
You took advantage of me.
Then... you asked my forgiveness.
You took my words and twisted them.
Friends that I once had were no more because of you.
Those who you had bragged about something that never happened.
How could I have trusted you so much?
I told you to stop.
You wouldn't stop.
I screamed, and you silenced me.
I guess my refusal just wasn't enough.
