Loss

it is amazing how free you can be with trust whose cost cannot be measured
chances are all you have
when respect is all but gone

so much to lose
so much to learn
so much to take for granted

your self destruction is amazing
and i cannot help but wonder
why you hold yourself in such contempt

you need to lose
you need to learn
you need to see what it feels like to be taken for granted

i have often wondered how you can hurt the one you profess to love
like it doesn't matter
like you cannot see the pain you cause

I've had to lose
I've had to learn
I have been taken for granted

i think it is because you don't love yourself enough
to believe you deserve
to show love and be loved better

so we lose
so we learn
and we take this love for granted
