This is a poem that I wrote about a boyfriend who really hurt me badly.


Did you learn your lesson?

All that I tried to tell you,

Did it ever sink in?



Did it mean a thing?

That I loved you,

Cried over you,

Lied for you,

I would’ve died for you.



For all the advice I gave,

You never listened.

I begged and pleaded,

You had better ways to spend your time.

You saw me as a girl,

Nothing more.



I tried to help you,

I tried to make you happy,

But still I always fell short,

I wasn’t what you wanted.

You couldn’t ever bring yourself

To love a girl like me.



I tried so many ways

To make you understand,

What you were doing was wrong.

It is me you were supposed to be with,

I was the girl for you.

But you will never knew

Of what I did,

You still don’t love me

Enough to care.



You will never know of

The things I hide,

The nights I cried,

I starved myself…

To better myself for you.

You will never know of

How I swallowed pills,

To make me die,

But the thought of you kept me alive.

You will never know of

When I cut my hand,

But was ashamed,

So I made it look like an accident.



You never listened,

It was your own fault,

You ignored the signs.



Can’t you see,

In trying to help you,

I was asking for help myself,

But now you will know,

To appreciate life.



I killed myself for you…

To teach you a lesson,

To make you appreciate your life,

To not take love for granted.

Well, Did you learn your lesson?
