Timing My Habit by Shonda Chrissonberry21 days/3 weeks
however you choose to proclaim it
the continuance remains the same
I've been told that's how long
it takes to make or break
a habit
sorry, I will have to disagree
because it only took
a single second for you
to make yourself a
habit of mine
and it seems it has taken
much longer than the
allotted space to break
myself of this
habit you've become
but who's counting anyway?
after all
it's only time
and you were always
my habit made
to be broken
