Selfish

My tears flowed so naturally
I had no intent of hiding them
My body was numb
I felt cold and alone even as you held me
You knew you couldn’t repair this
I wanted to ask you to give it back
I wanted you to make me hate you
I knew even my lover couldn’t do that
He was selfish and just as hurt as I was
He wanted to keep my love to himself
But how badly I needed it back
He hadn’t even left me and I was already falling apart
My throat burned as I tried to hold everything back
The mental break down that wanted to show
But I stood there
I let him go
And I let him take me with him
He would never admit it
But I kept him selfishly as well
