Never Cry for a Worthless Man

Never Cry for a Worthless Man

Do not let your heart grow heavy

for a man who never held its weight.

No tear deserves the journey down your cheek

for someone who took your love for surrender.

Keep your sorrow like a locked garden,

where only the worthy may walk

those who see the light in your laughter

and the strength in your silence.

A worthless man is a passing shadow,

a whisper in a crowded room,

forgotten as quickly as he came,

his absence a gift, his presence never was.

So lift your chin,

let the wind dry what he could never earn,

and remember

your tears are gold,

too precious to be spent on those

who never knew their value.
