Occupied

Time never wasted
                              Envious of you sitting in this basement
                                              Never a waste
                                  Followed you with much drive
                                       Now my time is occupied

                                   Sometimes wishing I could die
                                     Not in my nature so I strive
                                  Wished and waited for that time
                               back stabbed betrayed and denied
                                    Feeling I’ll be alone till I die
                                Always wishing to be by your side
                                     Now my time is occupied

                         Striving for a better life that I can survive
                                       With hopes to provide
                                     For we have a mutual tie
                                  Loving you will never be a lie
                                      Time to suit up and try        

                       Beginning to realize we’ve been freed from a lie
                           A relationship shouldn’t be a one way street 
                             Except for riding on the road to defeat
                            For I pray you accomplish all your feats
                                       You left me in this seat
                                      Now my time is occupied

                                 Just know I’ve loved you before
                                    During and after this defeat

I never know the form on some of these either! Free Verse is allowed to rhyme, but also has irregular rhyme or none, and no proscribed length. That would be my guess anyway. I like the clusters of rhymes, feels a little like separate mono rhyme stanzas, emphasizing the last syllable in each line. Enjoyed!
