Wrapped up in thoughts of someone else,
The truths that make me happy
Pushed aside for the moment
(moments...how long... too long).
I've forgotten what it means to desire
Hungrily, greedily, selfishly.
Smile for forever so she survives.
Smile for forever as pieces continue to die.
I find myself wishing that the the title was optional,
Like it once was;
Selfishly pursuing what felt alright
(at very least)
Striving for villainy
And thriving within it.
