Selfish are the weak lovers

Selfish is she for praying to die before him
to avoid the pain of losing him

Selfish is he for stealing her innocence
Selfish is he for making her so comfortable with it

Selfish is she for expecting as much love as she gives
when she knows that it's too much to really bear

Selfish is he for feeding her so many kind words
and meaning them
when there was a chance they could only be temporary

Selfish was she when she was so angry
she let him wonder if she was leaving

Selfish were both for staying, for loving, for
needing, for touching, for promising,
when he knew she deserved better
when she knew he deserved better
