Sad Boy Narcissus

So once again, you poor thing, did not appear To help me in the game of fall and rise It’s chilly to feel lost in mortal fear My heart is open to your most pernicious lies Relaxed reptile affects your idle brain Sad boy Narcissus speaks through you, he smiles From every mirror, frees of any pain His lips are moving in the waters of blue skies You hear him saying never worry, its all nothing Compared to contemplation skills you own Sun in the water looks too cold, you’re laughing While sprouting with petals made of stone.
