Selfish

Love is not selfish, love is kind...

marauder, i am hunting
plunderer, i am taking
licking lips wet for the satiating
of this boundless appetite
though i will be forsaking
the company of an Angel
i must wet my appetite
we are what we eat
and i have gnawed on the sinews
of many broken hearts, 
i have swallowed the expedient conception
of a hundred, selfish pricks
seeking instant gratification
from a cheap trick
my vindictive spear, 
struck through your heart
i made you beg me
to let you love me
i told you maybe but-
don't ever call me baby
so i know you're not pretending
don't ever call me sweetheart
so i know we're not suspending
reality-
we've started all wrong
but everything fits just right
i guess we have to make sacrifices
sometimes, 
but God help me
i can't get this blood from underneath
my fingernails
i know what this makes me-
a serial lover,
a ticking clock
you wind me up
and i dance this dance for you, 
with you, 
but when i struck you
you bled-
my fellow homicidal marionette
i fear we've been entangled
both thinking ourselves dead
it seems we still have some 
meat left in our chests
and i feel the pressure of your teeth
and the flutter of beat, beat, beat-

Part of me feels I would be sitting across from a woman, a bottle, and a revolver spinning

absolutely epic, its a roller coaster ride of intense images and concepts. probably one of my favorite writes so far

[R J Askew]

These are my fave lines '...gnawed on the sinews of many broken hearts...a hundred, selfish pricks seeking...my vindictive spear...don't ever call me baby...'

[Revery]

Very intense and well articulated. The imagery throughout fits nicely to the theme and message. Wish the spacing was a smidgin wider, but a great write.

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]
