Selfish Love

Selfish Love

A Poem by mcceewrites

My hands are soiled.
But at least your heart is spoiled. 
Your hands, spotless.
Honey, you're royal.

I finally patched up those holes in my walls. 
Although both of us contributed to their destruction, 
I just went ahead and did it all.
But at least your home is built up. 
Spared, safe.
Honey, you're an eight ball. 

I put ice on my bruises.
Wrapped my bleeding fingers in bandages.
 Grabbed some crutches when I went out today. 
Since I know better than to lean on you for s**t. 

But you're happy, right?
You're not bleeding? 
Not broken?
Nothing is wrong?
You've a perfect bill of health? 
Yeah, that's what I thought.

The only reason that you're happy, and I'm not is because you only truly love yourself.
