SELFISH LOVE

I am a victim of selfish love
Lust in my own desire and thought
Couldn't afford to get the heart broken
My emotion hidden behind the smile

I wanted to have all the luxury in the world
Without given a dime in return
Addicted to selfishness and pride
Irrespective of who I got let down

I never meant to be so cruel
I thought it will bring me happiness
Acquiring all the things the heart desire
But I was a fool and callous all my life

I found out true love is priceless
Like given away ones emotions for free
Hurts deeply, it took me this long to realize
The sun smiles to us all for a reason

I am sorry for the hurts I caused you
I promise the rest of my life to be true
Love and long for you until the end of time
For I was a victim of selfish love
