Poetry: Narcissism

by Beat Spiccoli

Created on: February 28, 2010

I've turned over another Hard Rock
and found you hiding there 
You've changed your shade to dark
so I'm tearin' myself apart, cher

I've given you mementos of love
expressions of my mounting affection
Yet you've received them with forced smiles
and half-hearted appreciation

I gave you a gold heart on a bracelet
Inside I put a tiny picture of me
You screamed it didn't twinkle
and you threw the trinket back at me

You're a cameo chameleon, so pretty;
a picture of beauty for the world to see;
a fairy tale princess, a Miss Mississippi,
a first-lady porn diva in a thong in a mini

You turn on the world with your lithe charm;
Your emotions for me, cold to lukewarm
I feel a chill, coming our way fast as a storm
My sky turns gray and viole(n)t... I conform

Twisted like a bridge on a Gulf Coast highway
I dared to be obvious to love you in my way
But your stepdaddy lets gigolos in your bungalo,
mostly for him to stuff his own bunghole

Now, I barely see your face in my dirty mirror
as I stand trying to remember you, my chameleon 
I sense your presence now, are you here hiding?
Come, I'll hold you close to me and call you dear
