Vanity

Vanity

A Poem by Simon Welsh

It's a romantic situation where this takes place
in time you'll realize how little it matters
when you can toss me aside at will
because you found something better
to distract you from the sound of your voice...

With your vanity how could I possibly compete?
I'd rather slice myself but you'd only
just make it about yourself
I'm sure you have such a busy night tonight
so masturbate in the mirror because I can do

without your company, honey

This isn't f*****g New York in the Winter time
I'm not a handsome leading man but
what does that say about you?
I'm sure you have some sob story for the next guy
if he's dumb enough to listen then I guess it's on his head

Interesting piece indeed. There is a powerful, raw, honesty to your poetic voice that really enchants me. I too have been with someone who is too vain for their own good...and I'm trying my hardest to make him realize that he's being a jerk, but it never works. Luckily, I escaped relatively unscathed. I think you have some talent, my friend. I shall read more.

Well, this poem was....... I'm just gonna say, outward, I don't know if that would be the right word for it but this poem sounds like the person is talking to their partner, like cheating or something like that.
The poem was really good.

i like this piece, and i must say alot of your poems seem to hold anger/resentment/love towards one individual, at the very least i'm glad they served to be such a source of inspiration, because your poems are quite good.
