Vanity

Vanity is but the easiest prey
Consumed by what did you say

Don't you think I am pretty
Late night affirmation of the kitty

Seeking compliment in your own reflection
The pain to suffer rejection

Once was the look of Aphrodite 
Hidden in the darkness of the night

Coiffured hair and red ties
Seeking admiration behind the eyes

Using praise as mans to and end
The narcissist always bends

The mere reflection of the silhouette
Their image they never regret
