My Own Narcissus

Lay your pencil down

If you fill my pot with water

Why ask me not to drown?

I am a flower

But not your crown

That ink wasn’t made

For your hand

These words weren’t written

For you to understand

She didn’t made me for your

Touch

You lean on me, so easily

But where's my crutch?

There isn’t an x-ray

Clear enough

Lay your head down

These lips are too rough

When they part

Water fills them with a lust

But I do not drown
