Compete

Posted on April 24, 2012 | 8 Comments

I never had to compete
Against closed doors and mirrors
Once you had my heart in tow
I could see you more clearer

Nightmares flood my naked mind
Down in the hole sides like glass
Reflecting her face not mine
Her narcissistic ways crashed

    HI Michael
    this is an intruiging poem, is the “you” in the first stanza the same as the “her” in the second?

    Good work! At first I was thinking it a little love poem, but now it’s just plain good!
