Did Not See Me Leaving

You only take me for granted 
because I put the offer there 
you don’t create the advantage 
it’s the offer I prepare 
only comfortable when I followed 
I allowed you lead our pair 

I watched you grow in confidence 
in control declining care 
treated like your loyal servant 
who isn’t going anywhere 

free to cheat with other persons 
forgiven when you share 
I’ll do the work, you cause the problems, 
grasped out of thin air

how happy you would look 
allowed to do what you dare 
I can read you like a book 
you are your only care 

no effort spent on me 
abusive and unaware 
love I had has gone extinct 
oh look a moody stare 

thinking I’m happy like this 
power mad beyond repair 
reality is a hazy mist 
when it clears I’m not there 

blinded to what this is 
the power’s disappeared 
you’re single now you b***h 
and I don’t even care!
