He saw himself in mirror
Off of veneers
Ugly, petty, selfish him
Inane, laughing, lunatic him
Delusional, hurt, diabolic him
Inconsolable, broken, loser him
Desperate, illogical, emotional him
Unloved, unappreciated, despicable him
Misunderstood, misrepresented, mistaken him
He saw himself long and hard
Stared into his eyes and did not blink
Till everything faded but the fiery dots
Ablaze as a funeral pyre
Lit up by some random hire
No today no tomorrow
No celebration no sorrow
Gone like a speck of dust
No one cared and why they would
His untended wants
His life lessons
His works of art
His silent obsession
Of that one word
How he wished to be called
Won't happen, it's not his to have
One thousand promises
Made and kept
No rhyme no reason
Yet still it hurts
