taken

i let him go, all and all,
saying nothing as i owe nothing
and pulling the piece of my heart i gave,
back to me
as the one deserving stepped forward.
i didn't know your name, your face
and i was too busy to believe
that you were meant for me.
but i knew it when we met
and you have lead my heart
to forget those horrible, selfish men
whose pains mounted as luggage in the hall,
waiting for someone to put in the car
and drive away, far away
from this home i've been building
for me, my darling, for you.
