here's another poem from the taylor swift poem challenge... this one's better than the lakes one :0 prompt: "ivy" by taylor swift

---

you weren't

supposed

to take it

my heart

it wasn't

meant

to be yours

it was meant for

someone else

someone

proper

someone

normal

you're not

normal

you're a

dreamer

with an

imagination

that runs

wilder

than flowers

over old stone

you're an

adult

who somehow

still has the

audacity

to believe

in kiddish

fairytales

from the first

moment

i saw you

i was

caught

under your

witch-like

spell

entranced

enchanted

let me loose

from this prison

let my heart

find

who it was meant

to find

but i longed

to stare into your

opal eyes

and watch your

pink lips

move

as you talked

about

magical

things

whimsical

ones

neverland

wonderland

and anything

in between

your

grip on me

grew stronger

your roots

took hold

your presence

enraptured me

entrapped me

ivy

growing over

my heart

twisting vines

over

my soul

i couldn't

break loose

even if i

wanted to

i didn't try to

you held me

in your hands

one drop

and everything

i was

would've

shattered

you didn't

instead

you let your

love

grow over

my cracks

and

my scars

you let your

wild

run wild

in me

until i was

covered

in you

i'm still

covered

in you
