Conceited

I'm wondering just how selfish

I must seem to be

forever wanting you here with me

Thinking my happiness

my wants

my desires

were the center of the universe

where you were just an accessory

of all that was me



Is it possible

that I was so self-absorbed

self-centered and conceited

regardless of your feelings

I really believed

I'd forever be all you needed



Now I'm being fed a healthy dose

of my bitter medicine

Relearning the lesson of

love and life yet once again



Should I wait, should I stay

is it lunacy handing over to you

yet again another day
