Letter To A Narcissist

Cleaning it all out,

Riding all the memories,

I find they’re everywhere, reminding me how you entered my life so cleverly.

Promises after promises, letting go of the hurt you caused, believing all the lies you told.

Hope kept me in,

Pity had me running back

Always there when you needed someone, but constantly left alone feeling hijacked.

Came across a letter that sounded so sincere, a promise of truth and faithfulness.

But it was only a short period of time, everything would once again be a complete mess.

Didn’t take long, a couple days or maybe a few weeks.

Only for you to get better at the new sneaky techniques.

Playing on my good heart,

You’d fly by as fast as a shooting dart.

You were only in for purposes of your own.

Walking away I know I won’t be the one that ends up alone.

I’m not in life for my own personal gain,

Nor do I want to live on such a crazy train

The connections I have are real and true, they don’t have me scrambling for support when I’m down and blue.
