I won't be there

Info

When you need someone to vent,

who would listen to your endless rants

even in the middle of the night; 

When you need someone to lean on,

who will be your crying shoulders,

I'm telling you my dear, I won't be there.


When you think you're not enough

and you need someone to assure you,

who would lift up your morale and

tell you that you can do it;

someone who would cheer you on to

keep you moving,

I'm telling you my dear, I won't be there.


When your anxiety attacks and depression

comes creeping in,

When your life starts falling apart and you

need someone to be there for you,

who would hold your hand and

stand by your side,

who would hug you tight

and make you feel better,

I'm telling you my dear, I won't be there.


When you feel unloved and need some care,

When you feel not enough and

unworthy,

I'm telling you my dear, I won't be there.


I won't be there when you need me

coz I'll be needing myself to take care of me.

You weren't there when I needed you;

When my world was falling apart,

everything was in chaos,

I needed you to be there for me,

but you were busy...

Too busy for me.


I won't be there to listen to you

coz I will be listening to GOD more 

since you never listen to me.

You never really listen to me

when all I need was for you to

hear me out. 


I won't be there to make you feel better

coz I'll be busy picking myself up

since you let me down a

hundred times. 

I was in pain with all 

your broken promises,

and forgotten dates.


And I won't be there to love you

coz I'll be loving myself now

more than I love you.

I had given you my all

but you chose to break my

heart. 

So now, I'm telling you my dear,

I won't be there anymore.

I think the poem expressed that the other person had enough loving the person who didn't value her. But thanks for the feedback.

Well, but my point is when we love someone truly and we have moved away from him, then also if he seeks for help and ask us we would do it, because we loved him and also on the basis of humanity.

Hmm, well, sometimes, before we could help them, we should help ourselves too. Save ourselves from breaking apart, coz sometimes, even if we love someone, we have to let them go and move on. Sometimes, we have to put ourselves first, too.

Sometimes indeed.

Yeah, and that sometimes is when you've already given your all; when you've loved the person with all you've got but that person didn't appreciate you.
