Narcopath

Forth and back so on and so forth

Madness masking more madness

When a narcissist cries

Big, fat, salty

Crocodile tears of self love

For you to appreciate their

Sensitivity

Insightful through the most insidious of manipulations

Unaware, blissfully, so blissfully you stay unaware

In an emotional waiting room

Preparing for an appointment

That was never made

Not for you anyway

You're just the vessel

My ride to the store

Paradoxically

To the narcopath

Self love is

Self loathing

Self loathing's

Self love

Those who crave pity

Must first devour all of their own

Then starve at too young an age

From loving themselves

Much too much

Behind a shattered enough stage

A mess at the start

Even cats need learn their own claws

Professional confidence from something

Re-sewn, sutured, glued, reassembled

From pure disaster into smooth alabaster

Sharp at the edges, dangerous

This insightful love of the narcopath

Fierce now unbroken

Statuesque

Whole and all powerful

Distorted fully to experience zero reality

Floating among humans

In irrelevant situations

A deep love shared for the glory

Of one

With the strength

Of one thousand suns

Be careful

Those little emo black holes, ha,

They'll swallow your a*s whole

Author's Note

Love yourself to death.

Well said. Great write and I can totally relate having been on the other side of the Narcissists mental games of hide and seek. Manipulation at the very best. I love the style, it grabs the reader and allows you to feel as you move through the poem. Nice job!

[Davidgeo]

It's an autobiographical poem.... I apologize on behalf of all the horrible narcissists you've encountered. They are a good time from time to time though, in small doses. A little bit goes a long way.

[EileenMarie]

1 was enough. I'm sure I have encountered more in the world but living with 1 was plenty. I am free of the craziness! I will read more of your poetry, I do like your style :)

Oh dear - two science nerds - and me - too funny 😂

[Cobblestone Traveler]

This is amazing. A gripping read from beginning to end. Perfect balance of smooth wordflow and sparse little bites. Enjoyed the read.

[Davidgeo]

thanks holmes

[Shaun OBrien]

Very powerful and very well written. I really enjoyed that.

"That's what she said"

[fergul]

Autobiographical my arse. The true narcissist hasn't got a f*****g clue there's anything wrong with them.

Good poem though, much better than most of the simpering shite on this site; cor, f**k me, shite and site, it rhymes, i've gone and done a poem.

Okay then.

[Davidgeo]

You're right though... I'm not full evil. I'm a recovering devil... I have another plan for you.

[Chidoriflower]

It's kind of sad the way narcissists operate, also I like this poem. Very gritty and sassy. And I just like it a lot.

[Davidgeo]

I had a dog named sassy once. Drowned her in the toilet for not barking enough. Didn't live up to her name that b***h.

[Chidoriflower]

The dog needed some encouragement, i think. and ill remember that

[Davidgeo]

I'm sure the product of this memory will be quite biting.

Not my style of writing, but at least a different topic from the usual with a vivid scenery of the path... nice descriptions
I read a couple of other writings as well, now I might take that suggestion you made into deeper consideration.

[Davidgeo]

"I read a couple of other writings as well, now I might take that suggestion you made into deeper consideration." --- Now you might? A*s hat. My writing has nothing to do with those suggestions. You're a fool for basing the usefulness of them off of my writing. Take them or leave them independent of anything other than "does this make sense to me, now?"

[Stefano Segnan]

Alright, this came out wrong. What I meant was that I never considered much such themes for different reasons. One of them is that I saw them as a "happy outsider". I did not base them on "the usefulness of them off of my writing", but a suggestion like that is too abstract with little content. Now, if I read this exact same poem from somebody else my reaction would be the same. It just so happens that you wrote that suggestion and made an impression on me with this poem.

[Davidgeo]

That sounds much more reasonable to me.

[Davidgeo]

I kinda was trying to f**k with you a little bit there. I'll stop doing that unless... well, I like to f**k with people. So...

[Stefano Segnan]

As long as you are constructive, and in most cases you are, you can f**k all you wish

[Davidgeo]

Oh, I'll f**k anything that lets me..., it will be, extremely destructive, so don't you worry about that. You mean to say destructive right? I'll pretend you meant destructive.
