Right back where I found you

You wanted your world to change You wanted a life with a family Somewhere you could feel safe Feel the love you so dearly desired In your mind you felt that this family Could replace the one you had lost You wanted a child to show to the world The loving parent you wanted to be Experiences in life develop our minds Our values are locked in and fixed In your situation this didn't start well And a narcissist was born and bred What this meant for the world was no empathy You would take whatever you wanted Prison life only further detached you From societies norms and conditions When I first met you that evening I felt I could give you that life The one that you chased and repeatedly lost With the patience and love that I gave The process was gruelling with little reward Like trying to tame a wild animal Things would be calm for a period of time Then my heart and my home would be savaged It took a long time to realise that this never would work For try as you might and hope as he did A lion can never be a domesticated cat Their brain is hardwired to kill prey The final blow was life changing We'd come to the end of the line Now you're right back where I found you The only place you'll ever be
