Your humble abyss of selfishness

Don't call me on a whim
And act as though I owe you a favor
To invite you over to sooth your soul
Be there for you and make it better
Because your in a foul mood and
In your words
"I don't know...I just need to see you"
As if I am on this planet
For only one purpose

If anyone owes anyone anything
It's you
See, I am not that selfless person anymore
You once so coyly devoured
With your lies and deceit
Spun for my benefit
So calculated
So rehearsed
So orchestrated
Like you chose option B out of your catalogue
Of spider webbed deception
Each lie spun just so
Just blow off the dust
And keep that line handy
You may need it for next poor soul
My life has no more room
For your self-pity
Your pathetic excuses
Your selfish ways
But
Here's a thought
Before the door hits your ass
On your way out
Did it ever occur to you
While you were busy counting your conquests
And your empty victories
that maybe...
Just maybe
I am using you?
