A Taste of Heartbreak...

If you’ve ever been loved,

Don’t listen to this poem;

It is not for you

This is for all those who’ve called the cellphone, just to hear his voicemail,

For those who gave their everything just to see him well

This is for those who helped him with algebra because he can’t play if he can’t pass math,

While your own homework is neglected

Yes, this is for all those who’ve spent money erroneously trying to buy affection and loyalty

To those who wrote your first name next to his last in the back of your notebook

For those of you who’ve loved selflessly, loved earnestly, and loved foolishly,

Who’ve held on to fiction and lies in an attempt to create reality and paint it with your dreams

and favorite colors

And this is for those who found that he slept with someone else,

Or that the feelings you’ve got he just never felt

For those whose investments turned to one big romantic Ponzi scheme,

Of which the emotional liabilities will cause years, decades to repair

Yes this is for those who’ve immersed themselves in making him who he should be,

Of working to maintain something of which he only feels half-heartedly

For those who’ve sacrificed blood, sweat, time, energy, and self just to make his world balanced

Even when he could give a shit that your Atlas is struggling

This is for the ladies who’ve dealt one too many times with boys pretending that they are men,

Playing little kid games, who are too selfish enough to be real

And feigning that they’re sheep when they’re really sporting a lion’s mane

I’m telling you, this is for those of us who have tried, and tried, and tried to find love

Only to be spurned and degraded, unappreciated and hated, ignored and frustrated, wronged and

surfeited

This is for those who have never been loved,

Whose hearts look like broken glass,

Who’ve never been or felt wanted, or needed

But instead constantly, and continually, bypassed

So if you’ve ever been loved,

Then don’t read, don’t listen, don’t entertain this poem

For you, these are just words,

And you would never understand

One slap for the heartbreakers!
