They Assumed
They assumed she’d always stay,
they assumed she’d let it slide;
They assumed nothing would rattle her,
they assumed she had no pride;
They assumed she was flimsy,
they assumed a high tolerance,
They assumed she’d put up with it,
they assumed her patience was endless;
They assumed no skull and crossbones,
they assumed she wore a white flag;
They assumed she played their game,
They

Ignored Assumed Taken For Granted
Ignored Assumed Taken for Granted
By George W. Clever-----7 September 2020
Admittedly, there is a most important thing I take for granted
You may ask what do I mean by ‘taken for granted’?
I mean it is something undervalued

'The first day of resumption
holds unstable words and indecision.
Hence to the

I Assumed You Loved Me
And so I see your moving mouth
Not a coherent word my ears hear uttered
I must not assume
You're apologizing for the affair
For your love I now rival
For your heart I now lust
And I think she must too lust
Lustful for those lips on your mouth
I am certain she’s my rival
Cursed words I have uttered
They did little to
