Selfish

Such a sick selfish thing that I do
To hold back what you bring to me
When I know she’s wanting you
How crazy can I be?
I’ve kept you from flying away so long,
Always keeping you here,
Even I know that it’s wrong,
Someone else wants to call you “dear”
I’m just not strong enough
I can’t breathe, so long
Can’t live without your love,
Deprive the world of you,
I will,
I can’t face the loneliness that would ensue,
It’s likely to kill,
Me.
I see all of them
Crawling at your feet
Tripping over your good looks
And gasping in defeat
I’ve stolen your heart just like a crook
And I can’t let go
Your undying affection
Makes me feel so high and low
Although of love I have no recollection
Alone is not a place I’d like to be
So could you keep me company?
