Selfish

The selfless ones
Live their whole lives
Giving freely...
Loaning out pieces
Of themselves
Here and there...
An arm to him
An ear for her
A heart for them
Thinking if they give enough
Maybe
They will be enough
But as time fades
They run out of pieces...
Stretched sections
Martyred in the name of
Those they love...
They hold a single piece
Hoping for the chance to
Take for themselves..
For someone who
Will loan arms
To hold again.
Will loan ears
To listen again
Will loan a heart
To feel again
But the selfless
Can be the most selfish
Once you give to them
There can never be enough
