The Echo of Narcissus

He calls

I call

He answers

I answer

My words aren’t mine, but the ones that he utters

Mine cramp in my throat unable to escape

Only after his are said can my mouth repeat that of his

Stuck with only the words that are provided me

He stares

I break

He suffers

I suffer

Both broken over love we cannot have

Infatuated with the beauty of one man

It destroys us

So we die

He called

I called

He answered

I answered

But those word weren’t mine
