A Love Lesson Learned

A Love Lesson
By: Jessica Jenkins
I pity the fool
And the fool was once me
I was told time and time again
But it took time for me to see
It took time for me to see that
Love did not Love me
Love stabbed me in the back
Love took everything I had
Love took me for granted
Love treated me so bad
I was so deeply in Love
I could not see the characteristics
It took a situation for me to see through the hieroglyphics
As I sat and thought
How could love treat me so bad?
I began to get very sad
Wondering if it was worth giving all I had
I pondered for a second
The second turned to a minute
The minute turned to an hour
The hour became a day
I began to think of how Love led me astray
I guess that same day
I realized Love did not love me the same way
His love only loved me for what I could give visually
Not for what I gave unconditionally
His love loved me for the moment
And when it was passed the moment he decided to disown it
Leaving me hurt, breathless and scarred
Giving me thoughts of how loving someone else is going to be hard
So I decided to stick around to see if he would change
But nothing changed it only remained the same
Still hurt, breathless, and scarred
I tried to move on
But during the process I decided to pull his card
Tell him about himself
Hoping I would leave a scar
A scar of him feeling bad for everything he has done
But doing that only made me want to pull out a gun
How could love hurt me this way?
I loved him so much that I did not know what to say
But now that I know
His love does not love me
I decided to move on completely
Leaving it all behind
Erasing all his numbers
And throwing away anything that brings back a thought of how much my love was wasted
I can now say that I learned a love lesson
And I am happy I faced it
A lesson of love and how you should not waste time trying to get someone to realize the love you have is strong
Sooner or later they willl realize it
But by that time you will be long gone
Just follow your instinct
If you were meant to be you will be
One day love will love you
But I must admit on this day love did not love me.
