The State of Being

It’s important to know that you didn’t break my heart.
You shook up my weekend,
that’s for sure,
and my confidence
took a crazy hit,
but I deserved that.

I didn’t treat you the way you deserved
and maybe it seemed like I didn’t care at first
but you showed me how much I did care.
I cared more than I thought
but not enough to destroy me.
You didn’t destroy me.
I was undestroyed by you
though I was certainly not in good shape.

It was somewhere in between.
I got sick.
I felt bad.
I learned things
but I handled it.
I’m not confused by anything.
It’s important
that you know that.
