Acts of Selfishness (Written by Jimmy N. Alvarez)

How does it feel to make someone a victim of your selfish acts?

I have a woman at home but yet my urge is not satisfied

Everything I don’t want in a wife, is what I search for in a sexual desire

Why my urge is bigger than my love? For the woman I consider my everything

Is it the fact that I’m comfortable with what I have at home? I treat my urge like my own ambition

I never get comfortable and always stay hungry for more

I come home to a good woman, that’s caring and loving

She can provide me a future and a legacy; I can leave behind for generations to come

I put this all at risk, for what? A moment of climax

A moment that would be no more after it’s gone

The greatest pleasure in the world is gone after a few minutes of NOTHING

Why do I risk it all? For my selfish acts

I go home to my queen and tell her the lies that she expects to hear

I tell her I love her but my actions are doing the opposite

I tell her I miss her when I’m thinking about someone else

I’m two people in one with a different agenda with one objective

My emotional and physical satisfaction can’t be met by one woman

That’s why I have the other

That’s why I do what I do

Am I a scum bag? For what I do

What’s wrong with me?

What’s with people in society?

Are people with these behaviors the reason why love is more a myth than a reality?

Or am I just a man trying justifying why I cheat?

I have no complaints in my actions and deserve what comes to me

Why do we cheat?

I’m sure my words can or can’t explain….
