The Selfish things we do

by

Sherene Delgado

My moon in the dark of the night
You asked me to open my heart to you
To allow myself to take a chance
And perhaps even find love in myself for you
With your ready smile you somehow convince me to believe in you
To take a chance
Even as my mind screamed for me to stop
"Think of myself" I thought in my head
Think of the aftermath if things go wrong
Like they always do for me.
Yet my heart won out.
I slowly opened my life to you.
I allowed you to see parts of me.
I slowly started to feel that I had finally won my battle with love
A victory that was short live
As you walked out of my life
"I'm not ready" you said
Not ready I thought as the tears fell from my eyes
You felt the risk was too great for you to handle?
You could not take the chance you told me.
Even after you convinced me to put all I had on the line
You cry to me because of all you have to suffer from
"I still love you" you tell me
But I guess not enough to take the chance that I took for you
