Selfish…

Like a hungry storm. Like a famished sea, you devour me
With no restrain, I drown in you, gladly, willingly
You fill your empty void with my trembling sighs
With intricately woven lies, you capture me

Entrancing like a blinding star, strangely captivating
Out of reach, you slowly breach my walls that cave in
I fashioned them of broken dreams and force I’m faking
You broke into me only to leave me wounded and aching

And you are mighty in your selfishness
Glorious in your confidence and roar
Like a giant beast
who flaunts his feast of spoils of war

You are selfish and I am, without a doubt, selfish too
For freely I torment my core
Only to feel the soaring roar…
of a hungry, distant, selfish you

That magazine you keep on your shelf,
That you haven't looked at, more than twice.
It holds all of my sympathy,
For I know, of what that felt.

I want I need
To consume, to control
To stifle the hunger
And silence the hole.
Ravenous fire
I spread forth and writhe
In wake of destruction
I leave none alive.

I want to be free
But it seems there's a wall in my heart
I tried to break it down
And discovered
It was my own wall
Who molded my heart
Into stone

It never appease the thirst of a craving soul  
Like a wolf at midnight, under the moonlight howl
It cries for the moon to which it can never touch
Woefully unaware that moon bathes it in moonlight, his dutch


A selfish heart never knows what it posses
Never discern with what treasure it has been blessed
The more it gets, the more it yearns forever
Unaware that the least is better than never...
Be thankful with wat u have
& never grieve over wat u dont

Selfishness is hated by all
I think to myself as the night crawls in
But i want you to be selfish when it comes to me
As i rest my head on my knees
I want to be owned by you only      
But you walk pass by me with her in your arm and leave me here lonely

You're so selfish
Stuck in your ways.
Like you're the only one in pain.
Well *******,
I hurt too!
But you'll never know.
You'll never see.
You'll never know me.

She goes to her bedroom and gets down on her knees
Because despite everyone saying that she is an angel
She's not pleased
She knows she can do better
Love harder
Shine brighter
She's desperate to find someway to give as much as she receives
Because she's drowning in forgiveness
So she prays that God will hear her pleas
To use her as his hands and his feet
For love to pour through her like an unquenchable sea
She prays every night, every morning, every day
Hoping someone might tell her that they've found the way
So she knows that she's fulfilled  her purpose
That her life was somehow worth it
Because she spent it loving
Instead of loitering around
Lazy and selfish
With happiness unfound
This was for an assignment where I had to write about the biggest part of my identity.
