A Poem about Narcissist Love
Charisma, charm, humor and romantic dates in the beginning
But then I found out your true being
Lies, threats, stealing, tantrums and vanity are all that there was
But you made me think that I was the cause
You would tell me that I would never find anyone better
But then take money from me like I was a lender
You would tell me I was pretty
But only if I bleached my hair blond and put on a bikini
You would freak out, yell and bait me
But then love bomb me right after, hold me and shake me
It took me six years to figure out you were a gaslighting narcissist
Why did it take me so long to figure out people like you exist?
I know now that it all stemmed from childhood trauma, shame, self-hatred and doubt
But that still doesn’t give you an out
I won’t ever make that mistake again
But sometimes I hear your words that it was all in my head
You took and took and took until there was almost nothing left
My sanity hanging by just a thread
I forgive you now and have moved on
I met a wonderful man and have a beautiful son
I will show him compassion, empathy, love and respect
So that when he grows up he doesn’t become a gaslighting narcissist
