narcissism - all about me, me, me
expressions - really old poetry and other crap that hasn't been updated in years
escape - go elsewhere

Words of Hope

I still remember how our flames
burned when we were together
The intensity could bring day
to the night

But our flames died out long ago
And we've burned for others
in the time we've been apart
But never near so bright

And even now, when I see you
the ashes are kicked away
Beneath them,
the embers still glow...
