Loss of Face

Self-respect dwindled

in relation to my

growing respect for him.



Though attempting to

show my admiration,

my actions appeared desperate.



I humiliated myself:

left stripped of my dignity,

exposed to his disrespect.



With tainted perceptions,

I tried to be someone else,

but became faceless instead.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by "Lose face"- to do something which makes other people stop respecting you
