Expiration

Time moves faster and faster day by day, 
No time left for all the things you decided not to say, 

Each day seems longer than the last, 
She’s crying and crying trying to make time pass, 

She knows the love is no longer there,
She can’t see anything past your hateful stares, 

Her heart was once beating out of her chest, 
Nowadays it just sits and putters at best, 

She never asked you to stay, 
She wished you would leave because it was better this way, 

She wanted to keep you around out of her own desperation, 
But little did she know you’re past your expiration, 

You play on your phone when she’s in the room, 
Making sure to make her feel as miserable as you, 

She doesn’t even know why’s she continues to try, 
The best part of her day is when you say goodbye, 

You continue to shut her out of your life,
Like you’re some prize to be won after a fight, 

Her heart was once beating out of her chest, 
Nowadays  it just sits and putters at best, 

She never asked you to stay, 
She wished you would leave because it was better this way, 

She wanted to keep you around out of her own desperation, 
But little did she know you’re past your expiration, 

Now you finally dealt the final blow, 
For things that you should’ve known,

She begged and pleaded for you to stay, 
Now you finally did it and pushed her away, 

She didn’t want to toss you out, 
But she know that you were all about, 

It took a second to realize, 
Once she did she was no longer surprised….

Her heart was once beating out of her chest, 
Nowadays  it just sits and putters at best, 

She never asked you to stay, 
She wished you would leave because it was better this way, 

She wanted to keep you around out of her own desperation, 
But little did she know you’re past your expiration, 

Your expiration 
Your expiration 
Your expiration
