selfish
can’t you feel the tears
can’t you see the pain,
can’t you ever hear
the roaring of my heart
trying to get in
to where i used to reside…
don’t you recognize
the soul that’s been
uneasy yet never
get tired until
you take her
as your own?
have you forgotten
the smell of fear
that’s living
in each and every hole
of my skin,
after you walked out
of my life and
start leading a life
without me as
part of it..?
how would you call this?
selfishness? maybe..
since I’ve forgotten
how to call myself, myself
without you
as the other half of
my so-called me.
