if i'll ever fall in love again,
i do not want to own anyone.

i don't want
to eat all your butterflies
to satisfy my tummy.

i don't want
to sip from your blood
to feel the warmth of your love.

i don't want
to give you the paintbrush
so you can color my life.

because i shouldn't own you since
your family owns you,
your friends own you,
heavens own you,
the world owns you.

i don't want to own you
and display you in my shelves—
you deserve the world,
even the whole universe.
