I Am

I am an afterthought.

The One taken for granted.

The ignored.

The assumed to be known.

I am your last minute scramble, 

A foolish man's gamble.

Your dismissed intended,

Or rather, an abused attendant,

But I am mankind's enabled defendant. 

I am walked over, talked over, given no thought over.

The Risen Begotten - a sacrifice long forgotten by hearts gone rotten.

And you, who double talk and double cross at will and with pleasure, 

Take all my gifted treasure.

Waste my wounded love...

For I will still love.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  (1 John 4:10)
