If Only I'D Known

At the time I knew I had to keep you further back so people wouldn't look to you for knowledge or for fact I was unaware they call it "going no contact" and you being a narcissist explains the way you act I never stopped to think that I was making your life tougher and that you only felt good when I was made to suffer choosing to manipulate in ways that I wouldn't bother and that you think success is found in the failure of another now I can see clearly if you're near me or my path that I'll suffer the consequences created by your wrath as you are just a narcissist and I am your empath the truth is if you're allowed to close you'll tear my world in half, but if I keep you a safe distance you're a joke at which I laugh
