Selfish dreams; a desire intones.

She is a selfish girl;

She dreams selfish things.

She wants more from him;

She wants more than what he brings.

 

Dreaming of a change in him is a torture she bears;

Dreaming of something that cannot be theirs.

 

Do tell sweet boy,

Tell of all that you want;

Tell again

              and

                   again

        and      

again

        until your words run out.

 

She will be wanting to hear you speak those

slow

        rhythmic

                      dreams.

 

She will be wanting to hear your lips move with

love

       captivated

                       streams.

 

Until your thoughts have been impressed,

shifting from their former state.

And your thoughts have been professed

outward, instead of closed to their fate.

 

Your new ideals on life intone

And your mouth is speaking themes.

Those thoughts are now your own,

And they are her dreams.
