Narcissus
What are you looking at I can’t see it’s very dark in here You’re bending over you’re almost lying flat Something shimmers and you stare What are you looking at I come closer but all I see is you Back of your head front of your face Your looking in looking out of a pool Narcissus what is this A pool of blood upon the floor Close as a kiss you’ll never miss Your Echo as she’s fading out the door What are you listening for it’s a sound that only you can hear Eyes like a slamming door Shut me out shut yourself in with your fear What are you fighting for I come closer but all I see is you With your weapons of war then you dive to the floor And you’re down and you’re in and you’re drowned in your pool Narcissus what is this A pool of blood upon the floor You’re leaning in close to your sin You know it hurts but you want more Narcissus what is this A pool of blood upon the floor Close as a kiss you’ll never miss Your Echo as she’s fading out the door © Mimi Cross |
