Selfish

Selfish

The brittle bone beneath my chest cracked, pierced my heart

It was you who breathed new life into my lungs

It was you that touched my soul with those possessing songs

It was you who would later syphon the life you have given to feed your own selfish desires

It was you I would sit on the phone with for hours

All we wanted was each others constant love and attention

Instead it turn into high school going into detention

Which was a selfish and difficult place to be in a relationship

We were emotionally retarded

I wish I had continued to keep my heart guarded

If we were to split today that would be the best we could do

Find another eye candy to fill your selfish needs

Holding up my life will do nothing but hurt you

The more my happiness leave

The more I remove myself

Is the more I don’t care

Hey KEANA!!.....wow!.....could feel the pain and the Love in this piece of well delivered poetic prose....... you have a VERY intelligent grasp on the English language and its powerful impact when delivered with phrasings such as you done here so well!!...... sometimes being the "eye candy" (as you put it) is just not enough...... compelling write...... hopefully getting it out ~ as you did here~ gives you some temporary relief from what is obviously a serious thorn!!.......ALL STARS...... well done........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo
