Poet's note: I was in a relationship with someone who made me question my self worth, he was more of a narcissist and after making me fall for him, he disappeared, he wasn't picking my calls and leaving me to nurse my hear break, it was at the pick of this moment I wrote this poem, expressing how I felt at that time.
