Who's The Selfish One?

It seems so selfish to beg someone to live for you,
When you can see they're in so much pain.
How do you tell someone you need them
While knowing that they only want the pain to stop
And truly feel the end is the only option left?
How do you beg someone to stay
when they are begging just to go?
It doesn't feel right,
It feels so fucking wrong!
Your need for your other half,
Your happiness, seems so self-centered
When compared to their need to be free.
What the fuck can you do!?
You want to run and hideaway.
You just want to get lost in time,
When everything was perfect,
When Love was all that there could ever be.
It feels so selfish, so wrong to even think about
Asking them to stay for you and your happiness
When they hurt so much and cant seem to
Find their happiness no matter how hard they try.
How do you beg someone to stay when
What they truly want, more than anything,
Is to just die and be free of this
Awful life?
How the fuck do you do it?!
