Never Was Worth It Poem by Rebecca Pepper

The question never was ‘can I stay? '
Because I am me and I would find a way
To stay by you side without this lie
But would it be worth the tears I cry?

You said you would always be there
Said that you would always care
So where are you now my dear?
Because I can't feel you near

I stay where I believed you were
Hoping your presence would cure
The voices that told me you cared not
But they spoke truth, you have forgot

I told them I would never be alone
But it seems there was no truth in your tone
So I fight no more to stand by your side
You weren't worth the tears I cried
