The Lost

Always took me for granted…
Never mistreated,
Yet never rewarded.  

Thought I would always be there,
I would stick around
Until you were ready.

Reaping the benefits
While offering none.

Emotionally underdeveloped…
Pretending as though
You didn’t care,
You were unfazed…

Yet,
There you are…
Curious
As to where I am,
Who I’m with
And what it is I’m doing…

Funny
How it all works…
Truly never appreciating
Until it slips away…

Until you realize
You never had
What you just lost…
And what you just lost
Was all you ever wanted…
