Selfish Love

They say that love is not selfish it is kind 
But when it’s not, what awful carnage it leaves behind. 
Strange feelings crowd your inner space 
Tears find a resting place upon your lovely face.
Some people have no heart to give 
So find others some to thieve
And yet it runs out like water though a sieve.
Purge your soul of this painful memory
Avoid the reminders like an allergy
He stole your heart you lost control
The tears your broken heart console 
Your heart will find its place 
Take each day at its pace
You will emerge from this it’s certain 
It is not the end nor final curtain 
Like all colours have a hue
And the grass it’s morning dew 
You will survive and this is true.
