Selfish
SELFISH
Thoughts aimlessly swarm inside my head.
Memories
Your hand in mine, then the hopeless and heartbroken screams muffled by my pillow.
Your piggyback rides soon flip to the memory of me cursing the universe.
Your hugs were so warm and vibrant.
Now I am so numb.
Why was I so selfish?! All I wanted was you and I never came to the realization that maybe I wasn't all that you wanted.
It was too late.
Too late to start over as anything more than friends.
Too late to be anything more than what I am to you now.
A memory.
And we all know what happens to memories. Like them, I will fade.
I scold myself for wanting you.
I was just too selfish.

What Makes Me Selfish
I am selfish because I want your attention more
Than anything or anyone else. Eyes that beg you
To talk to me, look at me and touch me. I possess
The whole world laying at my feet, but this war
Without you there is like having the best view
Without someone else to enjoy it with. Undress
Me and the words because I am selfish enough
To want to enjoy the silence of solitude with
You. There are no other alternative or ulterior
Motives. Although I come across as being tough
As nails, I crave all that is made out of a myth
And something that is just as soft as my interior.
Than anything or anyone else. Eyes that beg you
To talk to me, look at me and touch me. I possess
The whole world laying at my feet, but this war
Without you there is like having the best view
Without someone else to enjoy it with. Undress
Me and the words because I am selfish enough
To want to enjoy the silence of solitude with
You. There are no other alternative or ulterior
Motives. Although I come across as being tough
As nails, I crave all that is made out of a myth
And something that is just as soft as my interior.

Selfish Pussy
Posh pussy with a tail
Waving round your face
Feeling catty with my male
You're petting me with grace
Selfish pussy eats your time
But I'll give you all mine
Up on your lap I sit fine
Trade computer for purrs
Don't got time for the web
Gotta watch me purring
Stretch out with me in bed
Your anxiety I'm curing
So pet your selfish pussy
I'll set your mind at ease
I'm under foot again
But curing your disease
After all your petting
I feel my dues to pay
Let your selfish pussy
Gratefully make your day
Waving round your face
Feeling catty with my male
You're petting me with grace
Selfish pussy eats your time
But I'll give you all mine
Up on your lap I sit fine
Trade computer for purrs
Don't got time for the web
Gotta watch me purring
Stretch out with me in bed
Your anxiety I'm curing
So pet your selfish pussy
I'll set your mind at ease
I'm under foot again
But curing your disease
After all your petting
I feel my dues to pay
Let your selfish pussy
Gratefully make your day

Prayers and Thoughts
Thoughts and prayers
Prayers and thoughts
Who gives a fuck
When we condone
Mass shoot-ups?
Time to quite saying
That we should be praying
Stop this assault rifle insanity
And put an end to the NRA’s
Selfish idiotic lunacy

A poem of indifference
What does it matter to me?
If plastic clogs the roaring seas.
All I want is convenience,
A life of ease.
Do you think I give a damn?
If they poison our wells.
And chainsaw scalpels,
Erases nature's tender hand.
I'm busy!
To busy silver plating my existence,
To worry about fallen trees
And dust bowl graveyards .
Where man's innocence comes to die.
Oh I will shed crocodile tears,
And reassure you everything will be fine.
It's good for business even better for the bottom line.

Self ish?
Like me but not me, like you want me to be
Like me but not me, just a shade untrue
Would you like me? Not the me like me, but the real me?
It's been so long that I've been this me
the me that isn't really me
and I'm not sure you'd know the real me
or that I would, if we met him
I'm not exactly lying, I'm filtering
taking the image and brushing it off
blurring the rough patches, carving off the fat
soft focus applied to the truth
vintage lighting and a sepia tone
tempers the harsh edges
We've been together so long, I've grown, and so have you
but have we grown together or apart?
Fear keeps the real me hidden
behind the old me, and he peeks out sometimes
and sometimes you frown at him, so he goes back
But does he hide for me, or does he hide for you?
fear of losing you, or fear of setting you free?
Like me but not like me, self ish?
Like me but not me, selfish?
You deserve the truth, but does the truth deserve you?
The truth of me, of who I've become?
Of who I've always been? Is there really a difference?
Can I be the better me? Can you love the lesser me?
Selfish or self ish, am I only fooling myself?
Like me but not me, just a shade untrue
Would you like me? Not the me like me, but the real me?
It's been so long that I've been this me
the me that isn't really me
and I'm not sure you'd know the real me
or that I would, if we met him
I'm not exactly lying, I'm filtering

Out of Mind Out of Sight
We fell in love once
I'm sure of it…..
But with our deepest connection
Came darkness
You blamed yourself for my destruction
How could you be so selfish?
Even though I'm crying
Even though I feel like laying down
And just dying
While I blamed myself
You blamed you
You're acting selfish
Don't you see?
What I have come to be
After you left unexpectedly
You were selfish and…
You were right….
You are the cause of my darkest misery
And all in the end
I ended up being nothing to you
I was.....
Out of mind and out of sight
I'm sure of it…..
But with our deepest connection
Came darkness
You blamed yourself for my destruction
How could you be so selfish?
Even though I'm crying
Even though I feel like laying down
And just dying
While I blamed myself
You blamed you
You're acting selfish
Don't you see?
What I have come to be
After you left unexpectedly
You were selfish and…
You were right….
You are the cause of my darkest misery
And all in the end
I ended up being nothing to you
I was.....
Out of mind and out of sight

Hungry Butt
Glutes chew
to the max
the seam
entrenched
and clenched up your ass
Cheeks that could
and would
couch the better half
of a bench;
thirsting for fabrics
cotton can't quench
Booty jaws saw
savagely gnawing;
rubbing raw even
the hardest lycra
Is there no fare
your derriere would spare?
Your glutton butt
shreds
fresh Levi threads;
ruthless as a wolverine
eating jeans like jelly beans
to the max
the seam
entrenched
and clenched up your ass
Cheeks that could
and would
couch the better half
of a bench;
thirsting for fabrics
cotton can't quench
Booty jaws saw
savagely gnawing;
rubbing raw even
the hardest lycra
Is there no fare
your derriere would spare?
Your glutton butt
shreds
fresh Levi threads;
ruthless as a wolverine
eating jeans like jelly beans

ELEPHANT
Granted, he was right,
But I so desperately needed it.
He tore deep,
But I kept him up all night
with my soft spoken venom
and my silver tongued lies.
He soaked in every word and simply
turned his belly to me.
He lives in the middle of the room,
the loudest, quietest animal,
The elephant in my room.
But I so desperately needed it.
He tore deep,
But I kept him up all night
with my soft spoken venom
and my silver tongued lies.
He soaked in every word and simply
turned his belly to me.
He lives in the middle of the room,
the loudest, quietest animal,
The elephant in my room.
