For Poppy's Prompts No. 13 - Greek Mythology Edition (Narcissus): Entry No. 1
Link to Poppy's Challenge, No. 13:
Look at me.
I see
Myself and
No one else here...
My dear,
Please understand,
I cannot look away
For you
(But will you still stay
And never go?)
The water is clear
For the season...
Another glimmer...
It's true,
You have your reasons,
But you better
Leave me. I hear
No sound, you know,
Except this brook.
And I must look...
It's all I can bear to see.

We All Must Go
My heart is heavy, but I cannot cry. And though I know we all must die; I still find myself asking why. Life comes and life goes, death comes for us all young and old. It doesn't matter who you are, rich, poor, healthy, or not, we all must go; no need for shock
