Selfish


Humanity is so selfish

Im self less always giving more yet recieving less

I put my personal aside for yall and you're willing to sit back and watch me fall to rock bottom

Because if it isn't affecting you, you ust laugh and say GOT EM!

I refuse to be here at your convenience 

I used to admire your presence 

Now you've become the biggest mistake in my adolesence

You broke down my defenses and you stole all my weapons

Kidnapped me and sentenced me to the electric chair

You love to shock me and watch me cry in despair 

Afterwards you always swear up and down that you'll let me free 

Than shock me again and laugh maniacally

I'm frustrated

You made love feel like water and I'm dehydrated

Concentrated on nothingmore than the touch of your skin on mine

Our fingers intertwined

You're the devil

Offered your love for my soul and I signed

You mastermind

Can't you see how I'm bleeding for you?

Can't you seen how I'm not breathing for you?

Can't you see that I'm speaking and need and dreaming of you?

You selfish being....
