Feeling abandoned
Your enforced expectations
Got you entangled
In selfish desires to mold
Their existence to your own
My Gift
My gift to
You is
Gladly giving myself
In deepest love,
Forgoing my selfish ways
Totally surrendered to you
He who all to himself seeks Love
Does the wings of Love fetter
Love is like a young dove
She flourishes in space and nectar!
I don’t mean to sound selfish
But I often wonder if my name floats through your conversations
Like a ship on calm waters
So selfish is grief,
Believing only he may
Bring relief to quell,
Truly, but, there are others
Who shall help you much better.
I'm here to confess
To spilling poisonous words
Of a selfish fool
When you needed silent care
To help you fight your nightmare
Here lies Todd a selfish man
Too stingy to lend a hand or give a dollar to an unfortunate
Where are the mourners?
Imagine that.
ME, ME, ME
I, I, I
WHEN, WHEN, WHEN
WHY, WHY, WHY
IF, IF, IF
MAYBE, TOO
NO, IT'S NOT ABOUT ME, GOD
BUT, YOU, YOU, YOU
Form:
I’m selfish, greedy, heartless... lost?
I can’t make up my mind.
I’m torn between the man I want,
And the one I’d leave behind.
Some drivers are so selfish
And some are arrogant with it
It seems that when they buy a car
They think the road comes with it
Form:
I am lost
But unafraid
I am broken
But uncontrolled
These things
Tear me away from you
Maybe selfish,
But for the better.
The Selfish Artist,
Who Never Created,
Took A Bluff And
Called It The
TRUTH!
Good Enough.

Keeper of my dreams
Thank you for the attention,
Only selfish wish.
Your belief is not expected,
Through actions it is instilled
your selfish love had me bound; but when I fell for myself, I was ~free

Behind the pretty faces
lies a soul that is deranged
that seeks nothing more but selfish fame
at the price of those whom it violates.
You cup my face, and ease my mind
You sway my hips and make me rhyme
You contradict my silent death
And dissolve my selfish pride
TRUMPELSTILTSKIN
Weaves his selfish golden lies
As he yet again connives
To fool voters into electing him once more! ???????
trees stand tall and strong
guardians of the earth's soul
providing us life
yet we cut them down with ease
for our own selfish desires
Truly warm and kind
The smiles that summon the sun
Unlike the selfish,
They need the spotlight to shine
Else, they say, it doesn't count
Seek you will find
wait it will come
want is selfish
share in kindness
live with love
make one person happy
with a smile on your face.

Louis' neck in the guillotine
CEOs glean much from this scene
Selfish as ever
These kings mean and clever
Make their steely getaways clean
emotionally struck
active still
questioning questions
passionately ambivalent
ever now
dreaming thoughts
stopped start
selfish caring
It was the last rose.
Forbidden but I had to have it.
Clutched it with no regret.

Empty, unfulfilled, selfish longings
live where love does not abide.
But where love is, there is peace,
and joy, and fulfillment deep inside.
