You can’t get what can’t be given
You can’t buy what can’t be bought
You can’t smell if there is no odor.
You cannot hold what can’t be held
You cannot find what is not lost
You cannot taste what is forbidden.
You can’t hear what has not been said
You can’t do what has already been done
You can’t see what has been hidden.
I cannot give you what you want
I cannot even give you what you need
Why? Because I belong to another.

Been down that road before. Life isn't always what we want it to be. Well penned my friend. 👍
AP, I look forward to posting just so I can read your words of wisdom, lol! Can’t wait to post my poem & song for Wednesday. Have a safe weekend, dear poet 🤦🏾♀️😉
