33: SOMEBODY ELSE

I know what you want
Its written in bold underlined with a bright neon highlighter

But you took to long to ask

Your stuttering words stopped at the letter "I.."
Whilst you were placing your words together

Another caught my attention
Made me feel so loved

Giving me emotions that I once thought where unnecessary

She showed me how to love myself,
I gave her my weapons that were no longer needed

In return, she gave me her heart
I keep it in the place where mine once was

Its the only thing I love about my body
It's beating is filled with rhythms of my favourite songs

Guess it's time to say goodbye
And now this is our last dance

Hard to say it's over
But I'm already someone else's

Baby.
