Selfish Man

I’m a sad soul trying to survive her sadness. 

I just want to be with you. 

But you don’t want to be with me.

What is so wrong with being with me?

Am I so reject-able that you just have to stay away from me?

I am sad and I am sad and I am sad

Because of you, because of me, because of us, because of love

What do I have to do?

I am tired and tired and tired

So tired I can’t keep my eyes open for the day

For the world, for good maybe even

I don’t know. Is it better to be gone?

Just like what you did to me?

You’re gone. You’re gone.

I am a pathetic sound of silence.

I am a force of God with thousand lies.

I’m a selfish man designed to die.
