Goodbye

I knew I wanted you before you were born.
Then you were here.
I have had so many fears.
Without you and your love my heart is torn.
My heart remains empty and worn.
I cannot fight these tears.
I couldn't slow down the years.
My heart will forever mourn.
However, we grew older.
How can I learn to live without you?
I want nothing more than to die.
Your body is growing colder.
What am I to do?
Goodbye, Goodbye.

Selfishness

I always think of myself first.
I am more important than anyone.
My needs are second to none.
If I am not the center of attention, I will burst.
Envision me in a Hearse.
My selfishness is still not done.
I always think of myself first.
I am more important than anyone.
I must certainly be cursed.
Selfishness to me seems fun.
I see no need to run.
I know I am not the worst.
I always think of myself first.
I am more important than anyone.
