Wonderful To Be Taken Forgranted

Wonderful To Be Taken Forgranted

A Poem by Markus
"

Things you want to say, but can't.

"

Don't want to be the final act
    in your daydream play,
relegated to the background
    in a such fucked up way.

I always tried to treat you
     like the special girl you are.
Billions of people on this rock,
    you were the brightest star.

Who made it to your birthday
    when he wasn't there?
Who helped you pass your classes
    when others didn't care?

Who was there with random presents
     when you were feeling down?
Who took the day off of work to comfort you
     when no one was around?

Who hid in your closet forever,
    just to make you smile?
Who never stopped at "just enough"
    and went that extra mile?

You never had to ask me;
    I simply felt I oughtta.
I was always the one around
    when you hit rock bottom.

It's easy to be a friend to someone
    when everything is good.
It's when that person needs you most,
    you show the things you should.

Just remember what you pushed away
    when you made your move.
I always would've been that way,
    my actions surely proved.

So maybe I'm not perfect;
    At times I'm in the way,
but remember when you reach for somebody….
    I'm no longer in your play.

You sound like you would be such a wonderful
and good friend. Your rhyme here works very
well, and it flowed nicely. This is a heart tugger...

Definetly taken for granted. Good write. Eventually, that person will realize what was missed.
