Dear Narcissist Poem by Haven Leonel

I want to tell you something. This time I hope you hear me. My love for you is dying, piece by piece it's disappearing.

No tears are left inside me. I'm numb and over crying. It's time that you man up for once, no more blaming, no more lying.

For years I took the shame from all the games that made me blind. For years I prayed for change so we could leave this hell behind.

I wanted you, needed you, I trusted you, bled for you, never mistreated you. I followed you, stood for you. I gave it all up and all just to be with you.

I gave you my heart and you gave me a stone. You gave me a house and I made it a home. My eyes were on you but your eyes always roamed. I fought for our marriage, I fought all alone.

You justified everything. All of your selfish ways you would condone. Your shallow apologies, spouting off Bible things thinking that means you've somehow atoned.

But I will not live this way. I gave you more chances when I should've known. I forgave you and gave you a chance after chance and each chance you have blown.

My heart, you broke, you betrayed me. And yet somehow I turned around and hoped to see you try to save me.

You set me up, you happily laid out your trap. Each time I fell for it. Each time you stabbed me in my back.

I still ran to you, begging you, asking that you would just hold me. You said it was my fault to take control and mind control me.

I ignored the dagger you planted. Everytime you took me for granted.

The road that I'm on is hard to walk on. The path I take would only get steeper. Each time I would fall, you would take hold of the knife in my back and drive it in deeper.

So now you are on your own.
These games are not fooling me, your time is done. Too long I have stayed by you, I should have listened to all of my family who say I should run.

Your tears are lava. But no more will they burn through the web you have spun. I pray that one day you wake up and of all of your victims I'll be the last one.
