Listen to poem:

Taker

[Verse]
You're a taker
There's just no give in you
A heartless heartbreaker
Lookin’ for someone to use
And the worse part of it is
You can't see that you don't give…a…damn…
…And fool that I am…

[Chorus]
I keep giving and giving my heart and soul
Giving you pieces now I’m not whole
You can look straight through my heart
I disappear more everytime that you trade
The love I give you for another up grade
Everytime you come back to fill up
From my ever depleting cup
I have to ask myself why
I keep letting you run me dry
I have to ask myself why
Oh oh I let you run me dry.

[Verse]
you can't be tied down
you sure don't have any shame
you just want me around
To play your cruel games
you like to mess with my head
to have your ego fed…. Well that's tough
I've finally had enough!

[Chorus]
I keep giving and giving my heart and soul
Giving you pieces now I’m not whole
You can look straight through my heart
I disappear more everytime that you trade
The love I give you for another up grade
Everytime you come back to fill up
From my ever depleting cup
I have to ask myself why
I keep letting you run me dry
Oh oh I have to ask myself why
I let you run me dry.
Oh oh oh oh
