Purely Selfish Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Your love has hurt me deeply, leaving me in tears every
day, having no recourse, no way to heal, being left in
a deep chasm, no way to return to the way I was before,
happy, free and content in life.

Now realizing you have given me your love for purely
selfish reasons, a temporary love to have me help you
get through a difficult situation in your life, you
never really loved me the way I needed.

Understanding fully now, what you've done to me, yet it
doesn't help or heal the intense pain of loss you have
now left me with, crippling me emotionally, giving me no
love at all, abandoning me to get on with your life.
