Narcissist

You made me feel blind

Everything i thought i saw-

was only what you wanted me to see.

An illusion, perfectly crafted, just for me

At first, the cracks in your mask

weren't cracks to me.

They felt real.

Completely human.

and who am i to expect perfection?

You were hurting and broken, just like me

But the illusion stretched-

thin and fragile

slipping further from my memory.

If you had no voice

And your only language was the void beneath it all

The void i could feel

from the first time we met

Not a single cell would have been drawn to you.

sucked in by you.

But your words-

morphine,

numbing me from your insidious damage.

The only thing that made you make sense to me.

my own voice grew quieter.

And quieter.

until it didnt match your reality at all

So morphine it is.

I didn't want to sit with the pain.

The pain of the truth.

The reality of you.

Your words weren't just a high.

They ripped me open too.

They said i was the reason.

at fault for the empty soul in front of me.

I had ruined you.

Destroyed everything i thought you were.

Stripped the light from your already dead eyes.

This is what you said,

what you told everyone too.

Your lies were my truth

I cant't not give you credit

for the skill it took to deceive me.

Because if i didn't-

what does that make me?
