You know you can't have me
I was told
when you turned
some years old.
Always knew you couldn't have me
its just
you're not
something that I've got.
I'm cheaper than you think
but you can't afford me
with my love
as soft as gold.
That's assuming you
might want me
though I am owned
in these
second-hand clothes.
Never need
to free me
because I ain't
yours to give.
I know we can't
have it all unless
you stay as long
as you can live.
Though my heart
won't let you go, this hand
has always
followed your command.
my mind
doesn't realize
that my eyes have
seen a promise land.
