Selfish

I always put everyone else first Sacrificing my own wants and desires But for one night I was selfish I got what I have wanted for months Though it’s something many believe I hate I have desired it for months now Only with one Not with anyone else No matter what others want me to do To them With them None of them Have stirred this thing within me Just that one Now that I have had a taste of what I wanted I don’t know if I can stay Here where my desires and whims Are contained to just one But not that one Another of a different feather Who wishes to cage me Within their sweet words and pretty promises Yet I still wish I could be as free As I was that night When I was as selfish as I dared Doing as I pleased As he pleased We both were pleased Whether it was due to the alcohol Or poor choices I don’t regret it Like I do all of those other encounters These bruises don’t make me shy away I don’t try to hide them The whole world can see them for all I care I put myself first for once And it didn’t leave me covered in scars
