An Angel Broke My Heart [ poetry ]

IV. A SELFISH PERSON

Before I met you,
I was selfish as hell.
I didn't care if someone
in front of me just fell.

I'd walk around minding
my own business
I didn't know I'll be killed
by your kindness

I was prideful and fought
for what I thought was right
I never really backed down
from any fight

I knew all too well
that I'm capable
There wasn't a need for me
to be humble

But you came and
showed me the path
It wasn't complicated like a
problem in math

I learned to share, give way
and be kind
Something that wouldn't cross
other's mind.

I was no longer thinking of me,
I was thinking of you.
I no longer get bored when I'm
stuck in an avenue

Every moment that I was with you
felt brand new
I thought I could go on forever
without feeling blue

Turns out you're not mine
to begin with
I don't own you, you own me.
So it didn't matter if I bled

As long as you don't walk away,
from my life or the bed
I tried to convey it to you,
the feelings needs to be said

But there's nothing I could do
as you sailed away
to go somewhere far away when I thought you would stay for another day.

I didn't even know how to swim
but bravely dipped in the ocean
It's a matter of time before I drown, would I really go deep just for a man?

Should I start reconsidering
myself this time?
Should've taken the hint already
and saw this as a sign

But it's never too late to start
your life over,
I'll just love myself instead of
looking for a lover.
