Selfish Poem by Mark Reed Jr.

I always wanted you to myself
I just hate that I made you wait

I jeopardized my chance with you
By not telling you, what I had to say

Just when I thought everything was okay
I find out early, that I was to late

Cause that someone I wanted dearly
Had no time to possibly wait;

But I can't blame her
The good ones usually go

How foolish of I, to not know
That being single ended, forever ago;

Although we still talk
I just won't accept that you're taken

You can't sleep on something you want
To bad I've finally awakened

So much for my patience
I dread for your care like a patient

Yet someone else has your heart
Which is why I'm in amazement;

With all I have wished
I have never wished for this

My desire to be with you
Was incredibly effortless

I've been diagnosed with heart-break
That was treated with bliss

I would need you to myself
In order to cure my selfishness.
