Lesbian Poetry

were you ever mine?

i gave my heart
all to you
held nothing back
believing you
felt the same way.

the eloquent words
written in letters and cards
told me so
i believed in us.

when i arrived
i soon realized
your love was not to be
your Tin-man heart
too strong for me.

turned away
not given a chance
for either of our happiness

my love so strong
to be refused
were you ever really mine?
or were you in love with the idea
of being in love
never truely in love WITH ME!
