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.

Two things I love most about your poetry, Elena: the ability you have to project yourself, and those last lines. Both are the mark of a good writer.
