Selfish! Poem by Nicole Baker

You made me think that I was the selfish one,
Wanting you each and everyday while trying to live my life
But no
In fact I was wrong for once
Because in reality
YOU are the selfish one

You want me to give up those who mean so much to me
Become unsocial and a hermit
It felt like you strung me along
And honestly, you have done that to me
Why can't you just be truthful for once in your goddamn life?

Why should I always be the one you make feel bad?
When we don't talk you are always on my mind
Wondering what you are doing when we are apart
And when I ask you, you snap at me
Telling me to back off and give you space
Yet when you ask me about things and I tell you nothing
You sulk and throw tantrums like a toddler,
Thinking that you deserve you know about my private life
Well you don't

You are one of the most selfish people I have ever met
You might say you love me, when in reality I believe you don't
You're just using me
I'm like a puppet and you are the puppet master
Tugging at the strings and toying with my emotions
Why do I stay with you?
Tell me... why?
