Christine Saputo Poet Rhyme

Dear Empath

Dear Empath,   
         I'm drawn to your loving heart 
The kindness and care you impart 
You give me the attention that I crave 
So your tender heart I will enslave 
I use your care and sensitivity 
I feed on your vulnerable passivity 
I keep drinking from your soul's precious cup
Your life water keeps lifting me up 
Over you I will gain control 
Giver and Taker we play the roles 
My ego is fed when I put you down 
Selfishly I want to keep you around 
So with my words you I deceive 
Because I never want you to leave 
              Selfishly,
                        Narcissist 

      -C.A.Saputo  xoxo

Seosamh De Burca June 24, 2016 at 7:13 PM Me thinks spider and fly...lol interesting poem, well done Christine Saputo June 26, 2016 at 5:18 PM I can see how you came to that conclusion. That's one of the things I love about poetry it doesn't necessarily have one meaning. It's all in the way the reader sees it. Thanks for reading! Many Blessings to you! :)
