A Confusion of Pronouns

Where did you go?

I thought lifting up

A box searching,

Searching; for time

 

They said X would mark

Where I could find

Her heart resting

Right next to mine

 

But mine is me

And me not you

So she and me

Can be the only two

Notes

Each stanza's syllables add up to 17. I did this because 17 is a prime number and can only be divided by one. The feeling of being alone or the number one is expressed more thoroughly this way.
