Own

This age of free agency fails
To teach what being "owned" entails.
Yes, I confess I want to see
Possessive pronouns used for me.
I'm asking not for flags nor borders
Nor for rules nor marching orders.

Whether "lover," "partner," "friend"
Works best for you, I understand
That none perfectly captures how
Connected I am to you now.
It's not the noun it modifies
That pounds my heart or wets my eyes;
So I'll just ask the smallest sign:
That you consider me your "Mine."
