I gave in my best
To prove all my love
But to no avail
Without any reciprocate

Daily drop of hatred
Was your coin of payment
This never was my dream
Neither was my wish.

'Go love yourself'
I took the advice
Not from a mad man
But from a mature mind.

So I began afresh
Showering flattery words on myself
'I love myself!'
Only myself do I love

My heart is safe
In the gentle arms of myself
Only myself shall I love
