taken for granted, that's how we live our lives. taking things and others for granted yet wanting more than what we have taken. and that's how i was with you. i took your love for grated, for all the things i've always wanted. not caring about your laughs or smiles, leaving you crying in places you'd run for miles. i took you for granted for knowing you'd always be there, leaving you all alone with all the pain to bear. i took you for granted until you finally left, and you took my heart with you, a first class theft. now its your turn to take me for granted. for that's all i could do. and wait for you to love me again, until time's a dew. take me for granted for that's all i could give. the only thing for you not to leave. i'll be yours so stay and use me, until the day you finally see, that you're, again, in love with me.

every night she
sits on her bed
with a cup of
coffee in hand
and a million
questions in
her head.

she questions why
she questions how
why did he lie?
of how she's lonely now.

like a movie, playing
in her head
a nightmare
turned reality
with him
on the bed
with another girl instead

one forty-five a.m.
the caffeine kicks in
heart beat fast
mind drowning
of him
of her
thinking of the past.

Why must we float on shallow waters?
Why must we sing in a flood of tears.
We float on shallow waters
Yet you let me drown

Does it cross your mind?
Moments we spent ‘fore morning
You left, no goodbye
Elyzabeth Rose Aug 2016
So sad it is
For never will they
Cross paths, even not
Tomorrow. Today. Yesterday.

A puff of smoke,
Fell the air,
I lie on the ground
Her eyes and tangled hair

Take a breath
Take a kiss
Let me tell you I love you
Even more, how you, I miss

Rest,
Hold om
A week's over
It'll all be gone

Take a breath
Take a kiss
Give a hug
Give some bliss

And all of these
Must repeat
To feel at ease.

— The End —
