Not Yours

Curiosity peaked

You’ve caught my eye

And all I can do

Is wonder why

We walk with the same motion

We think the same thoughts

And I have come to find

It matters more than it ought

So now I have to tell you

It’s time for you to go

I can’t do this anymore

And I need you to know

My heart isn’t yours to hold

It’s in someone else’s hands

Walk away, walk away

It’s with someone else I stand

Oh how sweet the glimpses

You’ve caught my eye

And all I can do

Is reply

We sing the same melody

We seek out all the good

But I have come to find

It matters more than it should

So now I’m here to tell you

It’s time for you to go

I can’t do this anymore

And I need you to know

My heart isn’t yours to hold

Let go of what you’ve dreamed of

Walk away, walk away

It is someone else I love

I simply loved the way this was written. There is something about this piece that I can't quite put my finger on. It was the emotion behind it I think. The way it had began pulled me right in and after that I seemed to wade with your words until the close. The addition of, "Walk away, walk away", set the feel of the poem for me and slowed my reading down. Truly brilliantly written, Lorame. Everything about this comes together perfectly.

Sounds to me like a "Dear John" letter.
What once was is now shown the door.

[the in between]

The speaker seems to have caught interest in someone who was the same as them, but it was too much for them or too mundane. Opposites attract? And the speaker fell in love. This sounds more like a song and it's a bit detached with a fun vibe, but with a blunt shrude message.
