Ivory Tower

Existing, so removed, in your ivory tower From high in your loft you wield your power You weave your emotions like Rupunzel’s hair dangling enticingly waiting to snare Keeping your feelings locked behind bars elusive and untouchable distant as the stars Seemingly honest and raw and true easy to trust what you say and do Woven with steel emotions impenetrable your victim will feel completely irreparable You are always right, you never bleed everything you do plants a calculated seed Little by little the insecurities grow eating away at what we think we know Dare we not question our reality thinking we know what’s apparent to see You know what to say how to speak to a heart your ego unchecked you execute your part Perfectly played you’ve planted the guilt how dare we believe what we think we have felt Go away and come back do not let go paralyzed with doubt insecurity will grow Finally the escape before our soul is gone entombed as it becomes in a deadly catacomb The climb from this well is steep and so hard but we leave this hell with emotions chard The light will be warm and stinging at times bright days grow longer we know we’ll be fine Escaping the world of a narcissist Is full of traps and emotional twists Be strong and true to yourself and your goal never again allowing that emotional control.
