selfishness

perhaps our cause is selfishness, but in the most honest way we say it we do our thoughts are released, and yes, mingle always interjoined, like two separate words sewn together into one we share, and also we justify each other i am selfish, about you i admit, i give in, you are the one to whom i exercise no charity to myself, kept to my breast, melt between into my liquid soul my heart will pillow you with its thrum don't you find it rhythmic? a selfish question: i need you to say 'yes' you are gravity and i slam, hurried, sped through the breath of masses who slip out of sight before even being passed into your body press my face to yours lips tangle in sentences, in action, in smiles, in outright cackling laughter that somehow you find adorable and i say again, i am selfish of you i crave you to myself, all my own, become unto me for i cant do without you now that i have your taste and the same is said for you; from you to me? you need me? you crave me? mind mirrors mind, and you become the meteor? i, your destination i to fold into your soul (gladly gone, meet me there) so we both hold the other in selfishness, no love to share but love to keep and be kept and that is magnitude our gravities combine single form, single line, singular to the last freckle and toe you and I are an Us and we're selfish together because love is need desire selfish want and so, so, so very splendid

attempt at free verse? not sure how it reads...my intention here was to create surreal imagery.
