Being in love with a narcissist

March 27, 2019

You used me as a duly deceiving mirror,

I was no longer me but all that you fear,

for a moment you don't feel completely alone,

you soon form beliefs of me which are quickly set in stone,

Constantly told I'm someone I've never been,

defending myself only confirms these beliefs

that were literally formed inside your head,

Still empathizing with all you'd been through and how you must feel,

Slowing letting go of who I was, wounds left unhealed,

I soon felt completely hopeless lost in utter despair,

As worthless as I felt I no longer wonder if you cared,

I no longer blame you, I could have left but I just needed to know,

that there was nothing left to fight for realizing I have nothing left to let go.
