Question

Putting your personal interest,

Into any sort of quest.

Putting some one’s feelings before your own.

Calling some one ill up, on the phone.

Take more and more away,

Until their feelings you betray.

Take it away until deplete

Until an opposite, we meet.

giving

You're on the right track, for the first stanza, but then the second stanza turns it into a different word. This isn't the right word for the first stanza, but you're in the right direction.

Ooooooh! You're thinking SO right. And in the way, that a tiny smidgeon of your word is correct. But, since

SELF

Is wrong, it gives the rest of it the wrong meaning. But, you're thinking quite properly

it's a "ness" word

No. Let me rephrase that. I think I put "" on the wrong word.

Ahem:

Wrong "correct" portion of the word (that you had previously come up with, and I said you were on the right track)

Sorry for the mess up.

i just KNOW I am going to spend all of this time on it, and then someone with a fresh point of view will come in and get it so fast. That is how life works. I am not giving up though!
