No One But You

by Beth Mashburn - Aries

No one but you
knows more about me
No one but you
has had my body
No one but you
has seen my great love
and no one but me
knows what I gave up

No one but you
could've been the one
No one but you
a Persian born son
No one but you
could my lover be
but who knows my pain?
No one but me

No one but you
could pull me away
No one but you
could lead me astray
No one but you 
could take my heart's place
and make me so turn
from my God's own grace

No one but you 
could make my heart vary
No one but you
whom I wished to marry
No one but you
in lonliness' greed
could make my heart feel
both chained and yet freed

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem after sleeping with a man for the first time. He is from Tehran, Iran and he made me believe that he loved me. Then he left me alone and I felt so confused. I feel that I still love him with all my heart, even if he does not love me like I wish he would. I am only seventeen years old, but I have an entire book of poems and I want to one day publish them all and become a world famous poet.
