Discovery can lead to hurt feelings. This isn't the first time it's happened to me but for some reason it hurts more than the other incidents. It's how a baby must feel, breathing in second hand smoke from an unthoughtful, yet seemingly loving, father, to discover that one who is held by me is simultaneously enough being held by another. Color me selfish, but when I hold a beautiful body in my arms and I kiss them for who they are and I kiss them for their soul I wish for the feeling to be mutual. I wish for it to have meaning and I wish for it to be a singular couple. This poem was birthed by two things: My own distaste for confrontation and you're lack of judgement to fool around with him, while fooling around with me. And you're gone now, you're opening a new chapter in your life, but you get away with selfish ******** too much and it's time you heard about it. Hold on my dearest friend, I'm not done yet. I never knew you to be selfish, but before I kissed you, I wish you would have stopped me and told me you were being kissed by another. I guess that's all I really want to say. Although it may not be all that should be said, and it may be more than what's right.
