Echo

This was actually a Honors English class assignment, but I posted  it here.
  
       River
happiness is talking.
I speak as quick as lightning
as lightning...
I have seen my prince
my gorgeous prince, i have seen.
though evil is upon him
that narcissistic boy
the boy
I love him
though Hera has cursed me
my curse to repeat
I felt like a river,
violently twisting 
constantly running,babbling, 
then, 
drying up, a drop of water remained,
my ability to Repeat,
              Repeat,      
         Repeat,
My lighting speech is detained
I speak what others say
an Echo in life.
The boy talked
I responded with repetition
he shut me down.
 I felt like a flower,
beautiful, but picked, killed
for he had a love
himself
only himself.
