Selfish

Sometimes I'm left wondering -

Did you enslave me or did you set me free?

Your selfish actions posed as my best company.

A sense of power is what you gave to me;

In return, I granted you a sense of relief.

It was some kind of silent agreement that we reached.

It was some kind of agreement begging to be breached.

I still think of you sometimes, and I have to ask,

"What was he thinking when he did that?"

It disturbs me that most of it was just an act.

It hurts me that you didn't use more tact.
