Love Poem: Self Respect

Self Respect

I placed my treasures at your feet
I gave you all my songs so sweet

Before my own I placed your need
"All for you..." my daily creed

My self worth in  your reflection
The biggest fear .. your rejection

Always expecting your rebuff
Knowing what  I had was not enough

Yes,  you turned and walked away
I always knew you wouldn't stay

A little pride at last I found
I turned away without a sound........
