Self Absorbed
By Brenda Arledge
Drenched like an absorbent paper towel,
existing in his own small world
with little to no concern for others.
Aimlessly drifting on a selfish road
of his own making,
destroying any chance
for a relationship to blossom.
Lost in an illusion,
his eyes failing to see the big picture,
pampering himself
with his thoughts and desires.
Standing alone
on a deserted island,
losing his battle for love
as time silently drifts away.
