I AM NOT YOURS

"I am not yours,"
Oh how those words mean something different to me,
that noone else could understand.

How could they understand
what those words mean to me-
how I have pined for you, longed for you,
layed beneath the eaves of the forest wishing for you.

Can they understand the way I watched the clouds
rolling by like slow and grey backs of buffalo
while my heart ached from the waiting
of what I knew would never come.

No, nobody will know what
"I am not yours"
means to me.

inspired by "I am not yours" by Sara Teasdale, she's a good poet.
(though her style is very different from this)
