Narcissus Me See

By I IS ME


I'ld like to think that I was proud of me
That's until I allowed you to see
All of the things my heart would let you do to me
Lie to it and yet never be true to me
 
Although pain was something new to me
I found you looking for something different to do to me
Pain isn't just simply pain you see
I needed to be taught that there was variety and depth in me

I needed to be taught there were different ways to care for me
To retain the pain while submitting the rest of me
Your love was the ultimate test for the heart in me
Obviously I failed your test I see
 
Because pain and a broken me are the only things left to see
Your heartless love was never fulfilled by me
My heart now broken and shredded is a mystery tome
Narcissus dying in a pool of blood echoing me
 
Lost in the caverns of itself my heart now searches for me
Relying on this darkened echoing pain using sonar to see
Did my need ping off of your darkness still trapped inside of me
Was Narcissus's reflection in the pool the you I'll forever see
