Taken for Granted

Do not mistake

my words.

I merely wish you to

understand them instead.

I have taken you in

as you wish come forward,

I have taken you for granted

under my skin.

I have

taken you

in as

the very

beating

of my

life blood

and

I have

taken you

in as

the very

outward flooding

of my

flowing of sight.
