Narcissus
Oh?
Who is that there?
That beautiful person,
Yes, you, gorgeous.
Perfection, I love you;
I love…myself.
Yes me
With those cheekbones
That could cut glass,
And that debonair smirk
And those luscious curls
And,
Oh?
Those scars?
Those dull, lifeless eyes?
Oh no, that cannot be me.
That horrid jawline,
Almost as weak as
That self-control,
Which is almost as bad as
That aching sadness
And ebbing anxiety
And meaningless future.
No, I do not love this reflection,
In fact I hate you;
I hate myself,
But I can’t seem to stop
Looking.
