Today I Learned My Lesson

Love is not tears
As you beg for attention
From a boy who never
Cared enough
To find a way to see you.
Love is not heart ache
At two A.M.
When you remember
All the times he wasn't there.
Love is not saying
"I love you"
And then breaking her
And never taking into account
The feelings of the one
Who thought you were the world.
Love is not claiming to love someone
And then letting others
Destroy their sense of self
And then leaving them
More broken than you found them.
This is not love. And it's taken me until now to realize that.
