On my own

While I breathe, I hope that I don't give myself away.

I no longer have the thoughts or feelings, felt from yesterday.

Yes, one day I loved you and now I had to choose.

I just didn't want to loose you-

But there was nothing else I could do

So I write my secret shame here

I exhale my every breath.

I hope that no one close can hear-

Myself beating in my chest

I was treated like a charity.

Like a project for the poor

I told you that I could pay

But all you did was ask for more

So I donated my time.

My every blood sweat and tear

My feelings aren't a crime

But that's just what I fear

I don't love someone elses husband

I just love my own

If this poem isn't enough to show that

Then I hope and breath on my own
