I Stand Like Narcissus


I stand like Narcissus
At the edge of your eyes

I look into your eyes
And fall in love with myself

But when you see me
You choke me out of your eyes
Like a nightmare
A tear falls from your eye
A dream is lost
At the edge of your eyes
I am lost

I stand like Narcissus
But without a face to love
Or a reflection to be obsessed with now

  1. But when you see me
    You choke me out of your eyes
    Like a nightmare
    A tear falls from your eye
    A dream is lost
    On the edge of your eyes
    I am lost
