I live for me

Not for him, not for her, not for them.
But for me.

You think I wear this dress to amuse you
**** right I do -
out of lack of self respect and self dignity

You think I say those things to impress you
**** right I do -
out of the love that is buried deep within my broken heart

You think I buy those gifts to please you
**** right I do -
out of the fear that I feel when I think of losing you to someone else

So I lied.

I told myself I lived for me,
the truth is that,
I live for you.
From the heart ❤️
