Surviving a Narcissist

I believe you just may be
Taking advantage of me.

You think you’re getting away

With your bad behavior every day.
 

You use my forgiveness

As a way to be repetitious.
 

If I keep on letting you

Continue on like you do,

Then I am allowing this

Bad behavior to continue.
 

Projection and gas lighting…

You’re always trying to convince me that I’m crazy.

Telling me that I’m always screaming,

Well that is true, but it’s because you’re never listening.
 

Ghosting, for you, just another tactic.

Which used to make me very sad.

At times even somewhat erratic,

Now I’m just pissed, and full-out mad.
 

I kept on trying to fix something that never existed,

Believing that I could get back the man you never truly were.

Now I realize that you’re the one who’s sick and twisted,

And soon my memories of you will become a blur.
 

I’m stronger than you!

This is what will be our demise.

I know that nothing you've ever said was true,

And that you are completely made up of lies.
 

Too bad you can no longer control me.

That must really hit you where it hurts?

I’m not leaving this relationship torn with ptsd,

Because I'm going to show you what true love for oneself  can really be.
