Narcissist

You can't see beyond your own reflection

your own imperfections

what a stunted existence

how sad and addicting

contagious and bewitching.

You pulled me down with you

sucked into your reflection

reassuring and absolving

all your imperfections.

For you I cast aside 

my needs and my desires

my childhood traumas

my own magic and fire-

disappearing slowly

to die on your pyre.

I see now that we were never lovers,

I was merely your audience.
