The Narcissist

You glow, you show the brightest light,

When all the world seems veiled in night.

There’s no one like you with such flair,

There’s no one but you who seems to care.

With such awareness it seems to be,

That none could know, as you know me.

And so I render all that I am,

To have found such a pearl in this barren land.

A voice so soft, so gentle, so kind,

Who would guess that it could bend my mind?

In smokescreens so bizarre and strange,

That reeling, I would come to feel deranged.

This game that you play, the things that you say,

The passion, the illusion, the promises, the confusion,

Where will it go? What will it show?

Do you really know? Do you really care?

That seeing only yourself will get you nowhere?

How many times have you lied?

How many times have you tried,

To get me to believe you would never deceive?

Your credit is up. Past payment is due.

My coffers are empty, from supplying you.
