You Fail To Change The Now Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I know love is real
Because I can feel the pain
I know love is painful
Because I can feel the strain
I know my heart is sensitive
Because it takes very little to break
And I know my heart is strong
But that doesn’t mean you should throw whatever
You think it can take
Why not just treat me right
Why not make me feel like I matter in your life
Why not make me feel like I mean something
And not like this means nothing
I know you’re a guy but men show they care
I guess the difference between them and you is that you actually don’t
And though it seems like I’m staying long
I won’t
Because I’m smart enough to know
That I deserve better then what you’ve shown
And though it may take a while
This will be over
Because you fail to change the now
You’re steady doing how you did back then
And that’s why we are going to have to be nothing in the end
