Devaluation

After a very strong and long period of idealisation, I found myself in the opposite position with my partner: devaluation.

I feel hurt, upset and alone. I know I shouldn’t, yet I do.

This is an adaptation of lyrics to a rap song I wrote, turned into poem, that expresses how I and many people who go through this feel.

I hope you enjoy:

I feel like you gave up on me,
all I wanted was to be free.
You said you’d help;
You said you’d try;
I had no reason to think you’d lie.

Now I’m lost,
I’m not myself.
I wander,
Trying to get some help.
But, sadly,
no one can.
I need love, badly,
You’re not that man.

Depressed,
obsessed,
I’ve paid the cost,
My heart is now encased in frost.

Yours sincerely,

Dysfunctional Girl
