My Narcissistic friend
she blushes her cheeks
with soft pink rouge
lips sheens glittery
eyes khol black
a couple hours before the mirror
painting face brushing hair
perfume permeates as if of Babylon
sitting by the river watching her face
the songs from the radio
makes her cry
she thinks its all about her
but no baby it isn't
the wailing heartbreak song
is for another not you
the poems written in tears
yearns for another
she walks in clouds
silver lined and star sprinkled
smiling brightly at everyone
she thinks everyone's looking
no one cares
you belong to yesterday.

Very nicely done! So sad though, it reminds me of someone I know, so beautiful but still living in the past. Thank you for writing that!
Sometimes letting go is difficult especially when they don't realise that they are not as desirable and attractive as they used to be. Thank you for reading Phoenix_Risen and leaving kind comments.

She sounds a lot like a FEW women I've seen in early, n then way later My lifetime... NOT the same as they were, but for them, nothing's changed. Excellent ink!

This was interesting. People have often projected themselves into my poems and think I am writing about them. Egocentrism springs from a lack of self esteem, in my experience.

Hi Daniel. Similarity in experiences or thoughts can result in some people thinking one is writing about them:) ... Thank you for reading and commenting. :)
