i wonder
if those we call selfish now
are those people
unable to fill
themselves again
their souls
stretched and torn
****** out of their body
their hearts empty
by giving beyond
what it can beat
now, decaying
soulless, lifeless
empty and pleading
left with nothing
maybe trying
to restart, rebuild
refill what is now trenched
and hollowed heart
they tend
to leave more
for their own
yet receive a lash
for as it seems
trying to love
themselves
for the first time
is selfish.
