Narcissus

Dear me-show boy/girl I know you're not really into conflict resolution

Or seeing both sides of every equation

Or having an uninterrupted conversation

And any talk of healthiness

And any talk of connectedness

And any talk of resolving this

Leaves you running for the door

Why why do I try to love you

Try to love you when you really don't want me to

Dear egotist boy/girl you've never really had to suffer any consequence

You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes

You'd never understand anyone showing resistance

Dear popular boy/girl I know you're used to getting everything so easily

A stranger to the concept of reciprocity

People honor boys/girls like you in this society

And any talk of selflessness

And any talk of working at this

And any talk of being of service

Leaves you running for the door

Why why do I try to help you try to help you

When you really don't want me to

You go back to the women/men who will dance the dance

You go back to your friends who will lick your ass

You go back to ignoring all the rest of us

You go back to the center of your universe

Dear self centered boy/girl I don't know why I still feel affected by you

I've never lasted very long with someone like you

I never did although I have to admit I wanted to
