Just tell me
   that you want
   to marry me
   only when you're
   really ready.

Not now,
   when both of us
   are still twenty
   young, and
   supposedly free.

I picked you up
        when she locked you out.

For once I thought
         we were so high in love,
         I was your princess
         and you were my prince.
        
But all of a sudden,
        it came to my senses
        that you were still not over
        with a love within you
        that was long ago existed.

I was left with no choice
        but to endure the pain
        because a love like that
        is something I couldn't
        compete with.

And now, you locked me out
        I'm nowhere to be picked in.

Sent my tear-stained shirt off to the laundry
Nothing else more to worry
Sleeves would be as bold as of an army
Collar's persnickety like the majesty
Cleansed and free from insanity
No traces of crumples and folds
From any of your memories.

I was lost into
   a place I've never been
   where both the mighty and wicked
   hide their true guises
   taking two steps at a time
   trying to chase my soul.
