Pain of Reality

She woke up to the truth of his love
The pain of this reality 
Proved she was much stronger 
Than she had ever realized

He woke up to the truth of her leaving
The pain of this reality
Proved he was much more narcissistic 
Than he had ever realized

A clever depiction. Good for her. It’s hard for her to compete with that kind of love.
