She told me what she wanted And I thought I know what she actually wants... She told me what she needed And I thought I know what she truly needs... She told me what she thought And I thought I know what she's really thinking... She told me I took her for granted And I thought I know her, that's not taking her for granted...

Granted
I'm loved like the classical artists and musicians never in my time spent with my art

Do you know?
To stand on a glass floor And hear the crack of the ground To sing your favorite song And not to hear a sound To greet a person you love And have them ask you for your name To think another an equal And learn you're a piece in their game To open you eyes wide And not to see the light To walk away from a problem And later learn that wrong was right To leave a loved one angry And remember it was your last look To discover an object's value And be too late to return what you took

Fear
this heart of mine grows simultaneously weaker and stronger, you see, every time I try to explain myself, it flourishes, but when my voice is taken for granted, it withers away.

hurt
Option Why do I have to be an option? I set you as my priority yet I’m not even in your important list. Sensitive Why can’t you be more sensitive? I always put your feelings first before anything yet you only think about yours. Understand Why do I always have to be the one who understands? You do me wrong. yet I don’t feel any sincerity in your sorry. Apologize Why do you say it when you never mean your sorry? You say sorry yet you do it all over again. You always take my kindness for granted. But sooner or later, this soft heart will be for someone else and all what’s left for you? Your regrets.

Why
Finally; They finally learned how to love me; I can now feel them care and worry; And see them giving me attention—how merry! Some gave me thanks, while some kept saying sorry; Why do you aplogize, dear crony? You never did anything faulty Can't you see? I'm finally happy. For I can now feel their love for me As I lie in this coffin, lifeless, and devoid of any vitality; One by one, they walked in just to see my body Now I feel like a famous celebrity. The corners of my lips curled up; smiling bitterly Wanting to shout and scream so loudly Why didn't you tell me those words that might have made me happy When I was still living in this world full of negativity? But I do know the answer, honestly; For regret is stronger than any emotionality Oh, look how much they regret their insensibility As they lost me, yet learned to love me—finally.

They finally love me
just like popcorn - those soft, incredible clouds appearing from what once was solid, golden, rock - my thoughts are formed. out of nowhere, another pops into my mind, joining it's fellow corns, only to later be consumed, rearranged, and discarded by people who *aren't even me.* - v.m

popcorn
after all those years chasing people and hopeless dreams falling in love with boys who weren't meant to be I've convinced myself things aren't always what they seem I see six, you see nine i see black, you see white I've built walls high above the ground And I've let them turn it down and i kept chasing and chasing hoping they'd finally face me embrace me and my flaws but no.. they drew their claws slashing and gashing. with gnashing jaws i shut myself away away from monsters who embody my sanity and I convinced myself maybe i dont need people.

breaking walls and closing doors
Before you call me patient, maybe step in a little closer; continue your inspection. What you'll find is this: my tolerance stems more from letting people trample over me than from any conscious effort to be kind, so take caution. You've become so casual in your continuous disrespect; it's building a fire of aggravation. I didn't love myself and I didn't believe I deserved to, but I'm learning - and I still have a tremendous distance to go - that I am worth much more than my previous prediction. Moving on from you seems so foreign. Your loss would be the weirdest mixture; an excited lamentation. All I hope is that you benefitted from my so-called patience and that the world I showed you was a step up from reality - almost like a temporary life promotion.

Graduation From You
Quick to forgive, Slow to heal, All I wanted, Was something real, I give my all, And ask for nothing in return, Is it any wonder why, I slowly smolder and burn?

The Other Side of Things
She gave more than she should. She gave all that she could, But to him it was nothing, When she gave her everything.

Gave
I remember the times I was wasted on alcohol, and you chose to help me stand up. I remember we'd always drink tea in the fall, and you'd make it in my favorite cup. But then, one morning it was all gone. You said you were feeling so done, and you decided to leave by dawn. That was when the hurt begun I blamed myself constantly, saying I never gave you enough. I should've loved you cautiously. I shouldn't have acted so tough.

Flaws reciprocate each other until they find perfection, only through outside eyes

From The Outside
To the princess trapped in the glass bottle. Take a few steps back, I'm going to bust the glass and catch you before you fall. If all else fails, at least we'll have this memory to stand above all else. I've walked passed you once before, I never thought to stop. Reason, Your lips turned up right, eyes quick to roll. The silent treatment of turned backs. Ill gotten tempers. I never once thought through all the complications that the glass was actually dingy. That you actually could have been tired of being passed up because of how high up you were, the trouble of broken glass. Jagged grooves. Smooth binges, blind understatements. I applogize on my behalf, The labels aren't anywhere as good as they use to be. but I promise. If you make that silly face one more time. That one face that equates to "duh" I'm throwing this rock right at your head. If you were anymore transparent, I could swear you just rolled your eyes again

elemental poem
I gave you all I had. When you were sad, I gave you my happiness. When you were weak, I gave you my strength. When you had nobody, I was your friend. When you were unloved, I loved you. Not a single 'thanks' was even said through your mouth. Now that you have everything I have given, I have nothing. I became nothing. So, you go to other people to enjoy life, be free, give them what you have, and suddenly, they ruin you. Then, you come to me asking for help. And I reply, "I gave you all I had."
