Taken For Granted

I have given too much for you.

My love, my life, my mental health, my sanity.

I gave you everything, absolutely everything of mine, just for you to stay.

You told me you wouldn't leave, but you did.. and when you left you took everything of me with you.

My happiness, my hope, my sense of reality.

I loved you, and you took that for granted.

You'll never find anyone who loves you as much as I did.
