Selfish Harm

Each second of you is glorious,

but each moment afterwards is utter pain,

utter disappointment.

I'm disgusted with what I've done.

The 30 glorious moments across,

50 glorious moments forward,

and a million drops of pain-

Pain that went streaming down-

in little red rain drops.

I'm disgusted.
