Narcissist

Love burst its seams as she saw her reflection

mirror spoke no lies, of that she was sure

the beauty she saw was not seen by others

for she was perceived as haughty and vain

the power she felt flowed over the brim

flooding her from sight of all except her

she couldn’t see she was destructive to all

primping and preening to gain their approval

wanting attention with her inane standards

feeling no remorse as she tromped on others

no empathy felt when her unkind words

caused pain to those she happened to confront

through own looking glass she only saw glamor

reflection was marred and cracks were spreading.
