Selfish...
For years I've stood by your side as a friend--
I gave you my comfort when you were abandon,
my shoulder to cry on when everyone else turned
their backs on you...
We've wined and dined, laughed together, share
moments unforgettable--
I've wore my heart on my sleeves for you, you read
and played with it--
You say it's unintentional, I feel it's conventional for
you to have friends like me, but you say I'm the only
one--
I realize now that I'm your life jacket when all else
fails, I'm a caring friend who dares to love even in
the face of rejection, but my will to continue caring
has died for you. Maybe it is your mentality, being a
Mother doesn't make you mature--
Clearly I see you chasing your wants, it is what your
heart desires, so be it--
My heart desires your happiness, but with me, call
me SELFISH!! knowing your theatrical life, I know
what you need--
But my time to say good-bye has arrived--
I would say good-bye in person, but I know you will
be reading this poem...
