Magic

Did the spell that you cast on me
hold more magic than you planned?
I see another’s arms holding you close,
and I fail to understand.

I think of you day and night,
whether we’re close or far apart.
What magic is it that you possess
that keeps you in my heart?

You hold me close and kiss me,
as if you really care.
But when you return to your home,
it isn’t me that’s there.

There seems to be no room
in your heart for me.
So please, reverse you magic spell,
and simply let me be.
