So, you thought I was yours
A keepsake, a trivial possession
And you thought I was bound
To such a dynamic person
As yourself
And you even believed
That I would wait
For beautiful, unloving you
But you were wrong
Oh, so very wrong
I am not yours
Or anyone's
I was never someone's treasure
The other half, the alter ego
I was never
Civilized, cultured
A human thing
I am always
Thistledown flying through the air
The restless waters of the ocean
And the star, whose brilliant radiance
You will never capture.
