Lonely Is the Mirror

Damn you Narcissus, You've locked her in this cage A cage so empty from blindness She sees what I deny Cause lonely is the mirror She sees your soul Your loves your fears And your mind as glycerol My blindness is creeping behind My blindness is growing inside I'm blind to my disguise But she is not She is not For lonely is the mirror She sees you soul Your loves your fears And your mind as glycerol If a mirror could speak What might they say? A mirror might cry But I wish it would sing It would sound like all the people Without their cares of the listening But lonely is the mirror She sees your soul Your loves your fears And your mind as glycerol A reflection so wise But its lost on far away eyes She weeps with rust And in her tears are lost answers Answers for fear For lust for love And disguise And the truths to all of your lies!

Cool poem. Great repetition. The last paragraph is really powerful, especially “she weeps with rust”
