Not My Own

Not my own.
Against my soul and body,
logic tells me it is so.

Mindless Passion caused Life to grow,
answered a Hope I did not know.

Of nature we are the same,
becoming more is your fate.

Decided for you is a different way,
for always as my Love will be.

With regret my Word remains,
you do not belong to me.
