Not Mine

by Kaylee   Mar 17, 2006


I was your voice when
you couldn't speak.

Not my words.

I was your strength
when you stood to bleed.

Not my hurt.

You needed support
and you know I was there.

Not my fight.

Your hand was guilty
of an unforgivable crime.

Not my touch.

You were
struggling to breathe.

I held you.

Not my breath.

You were dying from
your own shame.

I watched.

Not my death.

You were missing
your moments alive.

I heard.

Not my life.

Begging for sunshine
in this prison cell.

Your world not mine.

I'm everything you needed
but nothing that I wanted.

    This is different. Im not sure what it means........It sounds good though, But i like it how you did this :
    "I was your voice when
    you couldn't speak.

    Not my words"

    That was really good. Keep writing =]
