Selfish

Selfish

Is it selfish to want
to engrave 
myself so deeply into your heart
that no amount of polishing could remove my existence?
Is it selfish to want
to be 
like a tattoo on your skin,
proof that I was someone worthwhile to you,
someone you chose to keep by your side?
Is it selfish to want
to drown 
myself in you,
an ocean belonging only to me,
to want
you to be a constant presence surrounding me alone?
Is it selfish to want
to leave
my presence like a scar into your skin,
a remembrance of how we happened,
not by our choosing, but by fate?
Is it selfish to want
to become
the one you'd depend on in times of need?
To be
the only one you'd trust in this world of lies?
And I ask,
is it selfish to want
to be
everything that you want and need?
To need
no one else in this life aside from me?
If so, I am the most selfish person in this universe,
for I wish to be the sole person in your thoughts,
so deeply engraved in you,
a reminder on your skin,
to be drowned in your presence,
a memorabilia on your body,
the only one you can trust,
and 
the only person you would ever love in this life.

Chapter 1: this is so beautiful, I'm not a big fan of poetry but this is just too beautiful! especially love this "To be
the only one you'd trust in this world of lies?" Great job!

Chapter 1: Did you write it? It's beautiful a bit ( load) predictable, but romantic
