To the narcissist

Alan R

And fragile

And broken

And dead

Oh no, not me

You, who made this bed

To sleep alone, to stay cursed

I haven't come across anything that's worse

Blame me for why

I couldn't survive the vacuum 

Of your being

Why your beautiful hell

Didn't do me well

Out of your nothing, I grew out

To find what this life is all about 

But you dear, return to bed

Maybe one day you wake up

With a real tear to shed

And I am already, long long gone

All that's left in me, is this spiteful song

To your nothing, I give nothing 

The joy of your absence is in my wings.

 

-Al

      Powerfully expressed

      To your nothing, I give nothing. I guess if you can escape a narcissist you would be feeling a sense of relief and freedom. They don’t make good partners.

        Thanks alot for stopping by, yeah it's been a rough 2022, when I wonder sometimes how hard it was and how I got out of it...it still feels like a miracle.
