loving a narcissist

March 27, 2019

You used me as a duly deceiving mirror,

I was no longer me but all that you fear

constantly told I'm someone I've never been

defending myself only confirmed 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 still have yet to know 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
