His Property

I gave to you the gift of my love
wrapped up inside my heart.
But it's time for me to take it back
because it was never mine to give.

You offered me your gentle love
to help repair my wings.
But it's time for you to take it back
because His permission you did not seek.

Only now will you realise
that loving me would be
your biggest mistake.

Because you cannot love someone
who will always belong to someone else.
