this selfishness inside
bubbles with your presence
it boils beneathe my skin
just waiting to surface
at the slightest movement
you could trigger the wire
that trips to reveal the bang
and scare you away
you wont come back
if i showed you the real me
if you had a peak
you would run away
you would crawl as far as possible
tremble like a child
and cover your eyes

this voice plays on in my head
like a broken record i hear the screams
telling me to come out
to come out
but i cant come out
in fear of losing you
losing your trust of who you thought i was
or thought i should be
so i'll stay being selfish
and stay being on the alert
until you make that move
to trigger my pain
and i expose every incn in front of you

Omfg, how did this slip through my fingers? How did I miss this? By far, one of the best, and startingly, sad and true and beautiful and lonely and great poems I have read. I guess there were too many poems posted after you wrote this, becuase just scanning my eyes down the list, I noticed this and I knew I hadn't read it. Omfg, I am so glad I did. Arrrrrrrrghhhh I just want to hug you.

I don't think I've responded to anything you've written and if I have I don't remember, but this is pretty cool.  Almost like being in a sword fight in your mind and making a fatal thrust upward and totally trashing the stomache.  I did have to read it a few times to catch everything.  So with your constructive critiques thing I suggest that you give the reader time to take in what they have read by using spaces, and breaking the stanzas up a little bit.
