If I Can't Call You Mine

by Lori   Mar 26, 2012


There's no saying who I am
Or the type of person I define
I can't say I'll ever know
If I can't call you mine

I couldn't tell you where I'm going
No idea where I'll be
But I can tell you I won't be alive
If you're not beside me

Countless people I've hurt
Hard to look in the mirror everyday
But I'd hurt a thousand more
To have you say you'll stay

If there's no you and I
Then there's no hope for me
Why even try to live
When my heart is history

So don't ever say you can't
Take this poem as a sign
Because I'll never write again
If I can't call you mine

    "There's no saying who I am

    what a strong opener! Ive always felt that someone else can have such an impact on a person it defines who they are when they themselves didn't even know, but hey, thats the power of love, and why its so misused today.

    "I couldn't tell you where I'm going
    No idea where I'll be
    But I can tell you I won't be alive
    If you're not beside me"

    damn damn damn, I love this poem, seriously that 2nd stanza is gold, it's like declairing I dont know what's gonna happen or where I'll end up in life but what I do know is it'll mean nothing if your not with me. your words are amazing.

    "Countless people I've hurt
    Hard to look in the mirror everyday
    But I'd hurt a thousand more
    To have you say you'll stay "

    You know, I've hurt someone deeply for this exact reason, not phisically mind you, but emotionally, she was a good girl, and I betrayed her for the woman I loved more than anything in this world, the ending of that stanza brought it all back, nicely done.

    "If there's no you and I
    Then there's no hope for me
    Why even try to live
    When my heart is history"

    this is where I differ, most people have this outlook on love and life when they lose someone they deeply love or cared for, but life goes on and I was made to understand that at a young age, I lost the girl I love, even tho she still loves me, it wont be, yet, but I don't dwell in depression over it whats done is done and if its meant then I wont stop trying because if its real oneday I'll have it back, but this stanza is like a modern day cliche for youngsters today, they all think its the be all and end all when they lose someone they really care for, guess im just getting old haha.

    annnd then you end it with such sweetness, this was a lovely poem, you should be proud
