Poetry/Song? No clue, but I'd like to write this into a song at some point.
One minute you're here and the next you're begrudging,
And when you're gone I feel selfless,
You must think I'm self-obsessed.

You're the noble one,
On a pedestal you've redone,
Then you came with all your unstinting,
You don't want to grouse with me.

Save me from the tenacious reality and these,
Dilute, astute thoughts.

Am I selfish?
I think I'm selfish.

Edit: Ended up writing a guitar tab for this.
