How Selfish You Are

How selfish you are, when you're the reason I live and the reason I die... How selfish you are, when you compel me to laugh and when you compel me to cry... How selfish you are, when you have my heart and when you have my soul... How selfish you are, when you take nothing and when you take it all... How selfish you are, when you steal lives... How selfish you are, when you leave knifes... How selfish you are, when you're real and when you are fake... How selfish you are, when you raise my heart up and when you make it breaks... How selfish you are, when you're here and when you are there... How selfish you are, when you care and when you don't care... How selfish you are, when you bring me the light and when you bring me the dark... How selfish you are, when you're night holds my star's, when it holds my spark... How selfish you are, when you make me sad and when you make me smile... How selfish you are, when you control my life with every little while... How selfish you are, to be my angel and to be my demon... How selfish you are, to be my jail and to be my freedom... How selfish you are, when you are my saviour and when you're my fear... How selfish you are, when you're so far but still in the same time so dear... How selfish you are, when you make me feel cold and when you make me feel warm... How selfish you are, to carry me inside your heart and then to get me out of my home... How selfish you are, to be in my reality and to be in my dreams... How selfish you are, when you hate me and when you love me more than what it seems... How selfish you are, to make me love you so damn much... How selfish you are, when you're only in my dreams to touch... How selfish you are, to never show me your face... How selfish you are, to be my one and only grace... How selfish you are, to never let me know you... How selfish you are, to make me contain a huge love that I can't show you... If selfishness shows your love then always be like this... But would I be selfish if I asked you for a kiss...

Hi Dalia, your words are awash with emotion in this write. Love, who knows what way it shall go but the true Love is ever constant, ever seen to be trying. Your emotions lead your reader to feel what your words express. A gift indeed Dalia. Keep letting your heart sing in your writes and they shall ever be heard. An excellent write Dalia, worthy of the seven given....Vladislav.

No, in asking for a kiss you'd be dangerously selfless Dalia..."How selfish you are, to carry me inside your heart, and then to get me out of my own home..." heart pounding poetry, and a masterpiece Dalia...J.A.B.
