How can I be [so] selfish?

It hurts seeing the pain in your eyes.

It hurts because I\'ve looked out of windows like yours.

You saved me from a place I thought I\'d never escape.

I want to do the same for you.

But my rope isn\'t long enough.

It\'s dangling above your head but you won\'t look up.

I\'m screaming your name but your hearing is blocked!

Blocked.

By your dignity and this wall you\'ve put between us. 

 

You say you love me.

But maybe our views on love are a little different.

Last night you held me and told me that I\'m not something you need but something you want.

In my perspective of love, you are something I both need and want.

But here I am, being selfish, I want you to be happy.

I want to be able to fix you like you fixed me.

But I can\'t and that makes me feel useless, my love.
