When A Narcissist Pursues Love Poem by Chris Embrick

I thought her heart
A touch uncaring
And her soul
A little dark
So I went about
repairing
In secret, never sharing
My intent
To change her heart.

Letters, roses
Sweet reminders
With gentleness
That my start
She turned away
Not one smile kinder
To my love, even blinder
Insisting on
A change of heart.

What to do
Too much cajoling
Must I take
My love and part
Surely it's she
Who needs the scolding
Is the one more controlling
The one who needs
A change of heart.

Deadlocked now
My heart in battle
To aim again
Or drop the dart
I must admit
She's got me rattled
Up the creek without a paddle
How can I change
My perfect heart.
