You Can't Take What's Mine!

Can I have it back now please?
You have proven your point!
You had the capability to walk in my life and do as you pleased
No, that was an audacity
You proved your point indeed

Maybe it was the way you looked at me and told me I was beautiful
But thinking about it, you didn't exactly say those words
But somehow that's how you made me feel
You were careful not to give so much away
And made sure you knew the right things to say
Especially on that day
Yes you sure proved your point, Touche!

You managed to persuade me that you were the only one for me
But not once did it occur to me that I wasn't the only one for you
How could I be so silly?
Maybe it's because I thought you were true
I must say, you proved your point for real
A round of applause to you.

You worked your way in and made me open up to you
You found the right button to push to make me fall in love with you
And that was even before you allowed me to give myself to you
So now you have me emotionally and physically
I'm afraid you've proved your point quite clearly
Because now you've robbed me of any pride, dignity and identity I ever contained
You walked away leaving me empty, lost, broken and confused
And that's how I remained
Oh you have proven your point, YES! I'll say it again

So now I'm on my hands and knees picking up the pieces
And trying to fix me
I'm almost there, but there's one thing missing
And I'm sorry but that's one thing I'll be needing
So if you please? coz I kinda need it to live
Coz though there are many things I am without you,
Dead didn't quite make the list
So well done, you've proven your point
But can I Have it back now please?
Even in the wretched, broken state it's in- I don't mind
As long as it beats and allows me to breathe
And because that's one thing I can say is  still mine
I've learnt my lesson now I'll be more careful next time

Wait! before you hand it over, I have one question
Why did it have to be me?
