Can I Be Selfish?



Can I Be Selfish?

By Josefina Martinez


I walked alone on a seashore.

You suddenly grabbed my hands,

Saying you loved me to the core.

You said I'm your forevermore, 

Nothing less and nothing more.


Then one day, 

The skies turned grey.

I didn't know you were slowly fading away, 

Moving away from me.


Kneeled for you not to go away,

I guess love wasn't enough to make you stay.

My heart was stolen,

Now your promises are broken.


Oceans roared in high waves,

Soliloquy upon the graves.

I know you're never gonna be mine,

Because you live in a spotlight and shine.


But it would be selfish of me to keep you,

Isn't it?
