Love and the Narcissist

I chose... poorly

By Meredith HarmonPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Pretty, but ultimately false.

Bitter betrayal from a dead soul.

When I caught feels, the masks fell off.

Left to navigate alone,

Victim of bait and switch.

Future? Uncertain.

Emotions bleed.

What remains?

Forward.

I...

    NARCISSISM is horrifying. I have had experiences with may narcissists. they are pathetic

    I love how the last line is just "I". It's a visual representation of the solitude of the speaker. Great crafting!
