narcissism

A Poem by E. Solórzano

July 28, 2022. Published on twitter.

i fell for myself the day he saw me
dance under the rain
i fell for myself the day we talked
watching the city lights
i fell for myself the day he played with
a strand of my hair
i fell for myself the day we laughed so
hard while on a phone call
all those days i thought i was falling for you
i was actually falling for myself
because i was acting like someone who i would fall for
i created this ideal version of myself
that i thought you would fall for when
in reality i was trying to fall in love with myself
and now i realize that you didn’t fall for me
because i wasn’t like someone you would fall for.
you knew i was too in love with myself.
and you wouldn’t fall for someone like that cause it
probably scares you
i fell for myself the day he told me he
did not fall for me

I really liked the beginning of your words but they got lost by the 10th line when your words became a paragraph.
My thinking is that this could be a wonderful poem, but you do need to fix the end lines to bring it together.
I know you said ignore the grammar but in your last line I am sure you did not mean... he did not fell for me
I believe you meant HE DID NOT FALL FOR ME...just trying to be helpful in your quest to be a poet...
