She Owned Me?


Oh how they thought you owned me because I lay peacefully on your mind, And whenever you needed me you just moved your hand and I was there every, single, time, You know they laughed at me when I said you came looking for me and I accepted you, And baby they laughed so hard like I was not speaking the truth? As we laid in bed those nights and your tears stumbled upon my chest, I was the one who put you to bed, and watched you softly rest, As we laid in bed those nights with your smile encrusted so wide, I was part of that smile because I am what brings you alive, As we laid in bed those nights with your blood bubbling in your veins, I was sitting just right there sweetheart stopping you from going insane, So you see Jasmine I loved you more than you loved me because I tightly held your hand, I pushed you to move on and showed you, yes you can, I sung inside your heart and danced upon your pink lips, I looked you in your eyes while holding on to your hips, And baby you know I’m not full of myself but you need me more than I will ever need you, And please tell the friends that they’ll believe your telling the truth! I am the tears of your heart while you abuse the paper, I am the one you run to tell everything to while to everyone else you say “I’ll tell you later”, No I am more like you heart you know, that thing that keeps you alive, I am all of your smarts, your passions, and you know… your ultimate drive, However, I was in love when you first said “Hello” My heart did tons of flips but I pretended to be mellow, I made a promise if you stay, I would be here everyday, I made a promise if you stay, I would always make sure your okay, And I believe I fulfilled those promises in way more ways than one, Even when you cried out a battered heart I demanded we have fun! Because you know I’ll always love you and I know you’ll always love me, And I know this is true because we are truly meant to be, I can’t help but smile while I say, Jasmine you don’t even try... But yes you do own poetry…
