A mirror image of my face Down in my soul, a deep, dark place Thence beckons me, with tears implores To join it on th' Acherontic shores Come and see what I have done But, pray, do not tell anyone You know the world is bound to burn And so I wait to watch it turn Painting pictures of myself For more than all, I love myself I am most glad that you could come It's barren here, and bleak and glum I paint my fears in hues of red And when I love, I love myself And should I die, you'll sink down dead Please help me now, I hurt myself When you feel the warm flow, then The pain is lessened once again
