Selfishness

Contributed by Jessi95 on Monday, 26th April 2010 @ 07:50:14 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

When was the last time?
You thought about you
When was the last time
You found someone true

I can see it in your eyes
You’re not selfish in one way.
Last time I saw you, you were happy
But you’ve turned sad in the length of day

Why don’t you turn around?
And think about you for a change?
Put away your sadness and give me a little selfishness
I will gladly take it in exchange

What’s the point in living?
If you’re living under a rock
Living in a bunch of self pity
Without even learning to walk

Get up out of your chair
And live a little more for me
I need to see you happy
And living your life free

I gave you up for one reason
That reason is for love
I loved you so much I gave in
And gave you everything from above

I should have never given you the chance
To make your life into what it is now
How could I have done this?
It’s not something I would allow

So go have some fun
So that I can be at peace
I died leaving you happy
So that I can be at ease

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
