Analysis of You Can Never Be Mine
As you clasp my Heart it crumbles into
When I breathe in your beauty -
It chokes me inside;
Every time I leave you
it's like half of my Life has gone,
the flames of existence brutally diminished -
Ghosts of sorrow remain -
But I know I'll only hurt you.
Seeing what I have done to you
Breaks my Heart;
it was never my intention to see you
Hearing the very words I dreaded; ones I made youspeak
engulfs my parched Soul with seething ruin.
But eventually, I wish to be
of the horrifying Truth.
I know now that things may never be the same:
every time I see your Face
the wounds in my Heart sting
and your own Heart - splintered -
With my own Selfishness.
Self-forgiveness for how I've made you feel is
I would choose you over my own Dead body
Always - Love leads to ruin,
Friendship leads to yet more pain.
Because of Me,it now hurts us both
to look at oneanother.
Because of Me,our whole lives may be shattered
and rebuilt withmissing and ill-fitting fragments.
Because of Me,this agonizing cycle of love
Will never end -
