He Taught Me A Lesson… Poem by christina clemente

HE TAUGHT ME A LESSON THAT YOU CAN NOT WAIT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO INTENTION OF SHOWING UP.
NEVER CRY FOR THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU’RE FEELING
IF YOU DO YOU’RE NOT HURTING THEM.
HE TAUGHT ME THE LESSON THAT I SHOULDN’T CRY FOR HIM.
I DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING TO HIM AFTER THE LONG NIGHTS OF HIM TELLING ME IM BEAUTIFUL AND NOT TO CRY WHEN MY DAD WAS YELLING AT ME.
HURTING, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?
WELL I’LL TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO ME.
IT’S THOSE TIMES WHEN I WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH ME AND YOUR NOT
MY PROM NIGHT WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME I KNOW NOW IT WAS A LIE.
YOU TAUGHT ME THAT IM NOT WORTH YOUR LOVE AND CARE.
BUT I TAUGHT MYSELF A BIGGER LESSON I WILL TAKE WITH ME FOREVER
I TAUGHT MYSELF THAT IM NOT CRYING FOR YOU CUZ YOU’RE NOT WORTH MY TEARS.
AND YOU’RE DEFINITELY NOT WORTH MY HEART OR THE HEARTBREAK
AND EVEN BETTER YOU’RE NOT WORTH HAVING ME.
