When he was needed, he was not there
When she was crying, he did not comfort her
When she gave him everything, he gave back nothing
When she gave him chances, he still continued his ways
When he was leaving, she begged him to stay
When she told him she loved him, he did not care
When she was lonely, she still needed him
When she called, he never answered
When she gave up, she was in pain
She was insecure about herself
She was unsure about herself
She doubted herself
She was confused about herself
She didn’t love herself
She often placed pain upon herself
She wanted to escape from herself
One man made her feel worse about herself
But then, another man made her embrace herself
He wiped away all the tears & gave her hope
He did all of what he did not do
He gave her everything he did not give
He was there for her everyday
He loved her like no other
He treated her like a queen when he treated her like a peasant
He made her smile more than anyone had ever done
He made her feel like an even greater woman than before
But then, one realized what a fool he was
When he called back, there was no answer
When he saw her happy, he was in anger
When he realized his mistake, it was too late
When he apologized, she did not listen
When he told her he loved her, she did not care
When she was leaving, he begged her to stay
When she left, all he felt was pain
He lost her to him, and he will never be the same
What he dropped, he will pick up
What he let rust, he will polish
What he ignored, he will listen
What he destroyed, he will fix
What he took for granted, he will cherish
What he abused, he will nurture
What he threw away, he will catch
What he forgot, he will remember
What he shunned, he will praise
What he denied, he will accept
What he thought was trash, he will think as treasure.
What he lost, he will have won
What he made her forget, he made her recognize & remember
