The Narcissist

The lies

the hatred

The abuse

You choose to lose with your neck in a noose

And you tied the knot but you blamed the seller who sold you the rope

And you bled out all your emotions and never learned to cope

So you hurt the child that you were supposed to protect

Repeated trauma of abandonment and neglect

You pretend your reality is one where you can do no harm

And every one else is at fault for becoming the person you are.

You lit the match and threw the flame

And the drugs and the booze only fuel the blame

Diluting your emotions of guilt and shame

And as the fire spreads

You drink the last of the water

Shielding your face from the smoke

And choking your daughter.
