Taken for Granted

I hate the fact we're only commited,
that having this two year relationship
is only a wasteful time of sexual contact
and worthless moments taken for granted.

I hate it that when we're finally together
all we can talk about is general questions
like two strangers struggling to find a conversation.

I hate the feelings that I feel suddenly
you look at me like you used to years ago
when we were still in a single state of mind
and we were just too afraid to tell our true feelings.

I hate all that you care about is my body,
not my mind, soul or heart to love and hold
like trying to keep a baby entertained and happy,
I hold up my shirt and you enjoy my company.

I loved the way you used to love me,
how you'd fight for me when things went bad,
how you'd spend time with me, without me begging.

I loved the fact we were in love before
that having this two year relationship
actually made sense and was wonderful.

I loved all the laughter you brought into my life
but now life's more depressing than anything else.

You did change my life, and you changed it well
because no more will I be taken for granted and used.
