neglect


it's simple in a woman's mind,

don't believe she only wants love.

she wants the loyalty, respect, attention, and care:

she wants to be put above.

loyalty means commitment,

respect means good character,

attention means time,

care must mean you cherish her.

to be taken for granted is an awful feeling,

and it brings pain for me to say:

i know that everyone knows this feeling,

because everyone's been hurt this way.
