2016's Drama: Living with a Narcissist Part 2
You brought gifts to my home, spending your money
Sent me chocolates, you were sweet like honey
Like a chameleon your colours shone when we met
It soon changed 3 weeks after we wed
My confidence disturbed your dominant demeanor
My independence danced to a tune you did not like
Relieved when I left, the grass was much greener
For respect was not something you gave me as a wife
Your toxic masculinity took you for a fool
Thinking your wife must be a subordinate which you rule
Your father's counsel never made your choices wise
Your obsession with being in control led to our demise
Heart break never stained my resilient heart
For it was impossible to fall in love with a Narc'
I could not be heart broken from something I tolerated
Leaving your prison home made me feel liberated
At our first encounter, you were a radiant sight
Like a chameleon your colours beemed very bright
It was a temporary adaptation. Soon your colours changed
For indeed a reptile a chameleon will always remain
