narcissism

You were young
when you told him
to follow his dreams

“Make the world your playground,
the best things in life are free.”

Your words, he will always remember
His thoughts, you will never decipher

He told you
He’s just following his dreams

“Make the world your playground”

You are his world
and his eternal playground

He is your cage
and your unspoken freedom

Make the world your playground
because

The best things in life
are free.

I was invited to your castle
with my dreams and battles

I walked through the rooms
the chandelier and its moon

Flashing bulbs
and scorching lights

I see the garden
in your hidden basement

Paper roses
seeds of illusion

Artificial flowers
in your unlocked drawers

Scented worms
a crown of thorns

Fleeting music
not for long

I won’t be singing
your song

I walk away
and end your play

Don’t ask me why
you won’t be free

Don’t wait for me
Ours is not a love story.

Make The World Your Playground
