Let Her Be

 

I don't know you. 

I don't want to get to know you either. 

 

So you were a good lover,

good for you. 

 

But may I suggest something?

 

Maybe next time, 

when you break someone's heart,

you might actually listen to them.

 

Maybe you should show some gratitude,

give up your time for them,

as they are willing to do for you.

 

Don't wait until the end of the relationship,

to appease her.

 

Don't beg for another chance, 

when your chances were squandered.

 

You spent your time somewhere else.

You had excuses for her.

Never listening to what she really wanted.

 

So why is it so hard now to see the mistakes?

Why can't you see the hurt and pain you caused

and own up to it?

 

Why have you not apoligized?

 

Oh, but now you want to be there?

What utter bullshit.

 

You can only say now,

how you would have acted differently,

because she called you out.

 

But now,

you won't leave her be.

 

She decided to move on,

and you can't handle that.

 

You didn't know what you had until

she was walking away from you.

 

Maybe you never saw it coming,

maybe you thought she would always be there?

 

Why?

So you can repeat this cycle

over and over again?

 

She's worth more than just sex, man.

You knew this.

 

There are others who would give 

her more time than you ever did.

 

She deserves time, love, and respect.

All three, not one of your choosing. 

 

And if she has to seek it elsewhere, 

she should.

 

You shouldn't be shocked,

that she's not wrapped around your finger.

 

She doesn't need you,

she needs love and attention,

which is what she requires. 

 

You filled a huge place in her,

and should have treated her better.

 

But now,

it's time to say good bye,

and you better give it to her.

 

If you ever felt anything for her,

you need to do this for her, 

not you.

 

Let her be.
