today
i loved you,
simply out of selfishness
i was sick of myself
and everyone else
who i had been with for too long,
so long i could not remember .
and so i loved you
because you are different from
all the others i had known
because of your boldness,
your mind liek the ocean.
it was as though i was
stepping on swords,
as i tried to tame
your wild instincts
silently.
i screamed your name
but you were blinded by
your own exotic ways,
more exciting than my own.
and tomorrow,
where will we be tomorrow?
in the same staring square,
like plastic game pieces landing
where the board says, "go back"
like those stupid games that
keep kids entertained for hours.
for hours i have been chasing you,
how misleading your eyes can be,
you smile,
as i try to tame
your wild instincts
i realized that i had loved you
simply out of selfishness.
