Perched before the mirror, my eyes open to see the greatest of loves there in front of me
With a smile, a chuckle, a nod and a wink I’m falling in love above my bathroom sink
My ocular captions are fixed in a gaze and neither denies our lust-worthy ways Never before have I seen such a marvel Brought almost to awe yet I recant such sparkle
For my status is equal or better than such I say with full modesty (as if I must) The greatness exuded Displayed on both sides It is something that I and the other can't hide
All of those who now know and all those who shall see will admire and greet us down on bended knee Consternation displayed only to be outdone by illustrious gestures to this royal son
But enough of the rest, there is just you and I “All of those poor, poor people”, we say with a sigh They will truly not know what it is to be us When you don't have to worry And don't have to fuss
This supremacy life is a difficult one My heart would feel pity, (If I had one) Instead it’s disgust, disdain and the like The fuel that's propelling me forward with blithe
Still across from me now, a reverent sight Another near equal and one who just might be the only one worthy enough possibly To stand here beside me for others to see
They think they all know but know nothing they do It's the jealousy had by them for I and you They’re like chlorophyllic plants Dripping in so much envy They try and they try; They try to prevent me
From being the greatness I know I can be If just given a chance Then perhaps they would see But alas, in the end it doesn't mean **** What I care for is me Only me and that's it
Except my love for you It's so deep can’t you see? It is real I can feel it I truly believe Only you I can trust The one person who matters The one I turn to when life breaks and it shatters
All others are pawns I can move on the board Sacrificial pieces for falling on swords No dispute; I am king Come stand here with me It’s us versus them And trust me they will see
It might not be today It might not be tomorrow But it will be soon when they join me in sorrow Make all of them pay For what they’ve done to me For the pain they’ve inflicted Their fault, you will see
Anything that I do Even though I will try They keep holding me down No idea; Don't know why They are all out to get me So plainly can see But one thing you won't see is not the last of me
Here, take my hand lover and come with me now We'll go out in the world and together show how Their pathetic existence can benefit us We may step on some ants But there's no need to fuss
The hole that is empty That is our damnation Use things superficial Instant gratification It's a short-term "fix" But will make-do for now In our path, leave destruction This much I will vow
Happiness, thoughtfulness or concerned empathy Some examples of words unfamiliar to me Therefore, no one can feel it Must feel like I do Only then I'm complete Feeling I belong too
