Letters to a person I'll never send

Yours

"You'll belong to me eventually" he says,
"You're mine"
"Only mine"
"I want only you"
your heart,
your mind,
your body,
your soul,
your life,
"are all mine".
I let the words sink in,
sweet on the outside,
but sting once settled.
Because as intoxicating as they are.
All I can hear is your voice,
"You're mine" you said.
Even though I was never really yours,
my heart still belongs to you.
And only you.
As much as I hate to admit it,
as much as I have to choke back tears,
as much as I destroy myself over you.
I've always been yours.
