Engagement Ring

He woke up one day and called it quit, The perfect engagement ring suddenly doesn’t fit, The sugarcoated promise I strenuously held close to my heart Became sour and bitter for I am nothing but a disposable, easily replaceable critter. I’m imperfect, impulsive and emotionally driven, I disappointed you at every chance given. And if you hugged me tight I'd burst into tears, I'd spill my secrets and my worst fears. Why blame you when I can reflect your rejection upon myself? How can I expect you to love me when I don’t even love myself?

A very poignant poem, Khadidja. So many can relate with the feelings expressed in your poem. We've all been rejected and betrayed. It's so important to pick ourselves up and learn to love ourselves as you brilliantly say.

Hello Khadidja Megaache, I sense that he had changed his mind about the engagement to you. Yes we should love ourselves to. Have a nice day my friend.
