an all consuming love
took hold of the
narcissist
his great admiration for self
was the everlasting
tryst

in front of the mirror he stood
kissing his own
reflection
whilst at it saying I'm so deserving
of my steadfast
affection

yes he was absorbed
in a love profound of
pond
this being the love he'd
keep fervently
fond

no one else could love him
with such a richness of
care
cause he was unable to
empathetically
share

the love he did bear inside
his overly indulgent
heart
would never ever
be cleaved
apart
