The Irony.jpg

Loving A Narcissist

Exploiting my

Vulnerability

Threatening my

Tranquility

Feeding from my

Stability

Downplaying my

Capabilities;

You

Depended on my

Docility

Suffocated my

Sensibility

And with

Rage

And fiery

Hostility

You

Shitted on my

Credibility...

I relied

On the

Possibility

Of

Somewhere in you,

The ability

To get in touch with

Your inner

Virility

As a concept

Of manhood;

Not physically..

But your battle

With that,

An acclivity

Your

Indifference and

Insensitivity

When you met

Me,

You finally met

Empathy

But responded

With evil

Malignity

Courted me

With your

Courteous

Chivalry

So I went along

So

Unwittingly..

Manipulated

My psyche;

Convincingly..

Beguiled and

Enticed so

Exquisitely

Blindsided by

Idiosyncrasies

Gradually

Revealing

Toxicity

Took advantage

Of my

Affability

And used it

Against me

Vindictively

Entangled in

My own

Stupidity

I accepted

Full

Responsibility

For triggering

Your

Impassivity

Devastated

Until you’ve

Forgiven me..

I daydreamed

This fantastic

Imagery

That somehow

We’d find

Synchronicity

Believed in

You

Unrealistically..

Turned a

Blind eye

To your

Inconsistencies

Gave you

My love

Unconditionally

While you

Gave me yours

On contingency..

Still.. I

Hungered for

You

Irresistibly

And you

Fed my needs

Artificially

Fast forward

To today

Now you’re

Missing me..

But not who I am,

Just the sympathy..

Still constantly

Seeking

Validity

In denial

Of all

Your

Iniquities

Cuz

You can’t

Do wrong;

The

Epitome

Of

Believing your

Own lies

Religiously

So

Thank Yah

I’m seeing

Things

Differently

No longer

Embracing my

Misery

Let’s face it..

Life with you;

Infinity

Of

Me being loved

Insufficiently

So

Excuse my

Long drawn out

Soliloquy..

But loving

My narcissist

Was

Killing me.
