SHE SHOULD NEVER BE MINE!

SHE SHOULD NEVER BE MINE!

By

Ross E F Lombardi

.

This is a preachy poem.

To explain hard-to-explain things.

.

That you cannot own anyone.

But you can give yourself to them.

Even IF you wear each other’s rings.

.

There IS a major difference between the two,

That no one seems to see.

I cannot belong to her!

She cannot belong to me!

.

To own is to possess, to have power.

To enslave and take.

While to give is to surrender both your egos

To love for its own sake.

.

This is a preachy poem

To Feel an easy to feel thing.

.

If you claim that you own someone.

You might be unfaithful.

As you seek to expand your holdings over other fleshy lands.

.

While if you give yourself to each other.

You will never consider being unfaithful.

You will keep hold of each other’s hands.

.

Love is something you give.

Not Entitlement to beat with, inflict and break.

It can only ever be a gift given.

Never a prize to take.

.

This is a preachy poem.

To say an awkward to say thing - to be.

In a world-scape of weirdly warring sexes.

To explain what being in a couple means to me!

.

You cannot be each other’s property to defend and use.

You should be but gifts to one another.

To forever love and hold.

.

Fighting forever with each other

Back-to-back, in total loyal unison forever

Both of You together against a selfish world.
