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
