Khadidja Megaache Poet Lyric

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?
