You tear me apart with every word

You strip away my flesh and bone

This situation is quite absurd

You’re toxic treatment I can’t condone

You manipulated me and told lies

Many false words led me astray

Relationships dwindle when the love dies

The best parts of me were ripped away

I covered you in my blanket of love

You smothered me in your cruel hate

I brought you peace like a dove

And you left me to choke on my fate

Through great effort I lost all that weight

And I gained a lot of muscle

You never noticed until it was too late

Rendering moot much my hustle

A starving man, I was neglected

As your love was withheld from me

Instead of being protected

Your ugliness consumed me

I wanted to be your lover

Though you never really did care

Instead I got screwed over

And you were my cross to bear

So I had bid goodbye to you

Long before you left our sacral bed

Today I try to think the best of you

But worms of your memory burrow holes in my head… ~ ~ ~

The Narcissists’ Reward

Here are the facts 

As you have them set 

You have no tact 

Or any regrets.

You do as you please 

Without any remorse 

Your hyperbolic squeeze

Keeps you on course.

You think of only 

What serves your need

You’re never lonely

Just filled with greed.

Whomever serves your will 

You keep near you bed

But once you’ve had your fill

They’re as good as dead.

So sing your own praises

As your world revolves around you

I hear rhetoric in your phrases 

As you have not  got a clue. 

You think you know best 

As your world turns 

Though I must confess

You have a lot to learn.

So go ahead and laugh 

While you play others, hard

For one day photographs

Are all that you’ll regard…

So take my me at my word

As I grasp all I can hone 

Yes, you think me absurd

Maybe not, when you’re all alone.

Dirty Diana

Of all the Diana’s and their claim to fame

You’re the far dirtiest with that name.

You truly don’t know where lowest low is 

But I must tell you, you’re there sis. 

Lying, deception, manipulation, and greed 

I hated myself and you planted the seeds.

Low self esteem, misery, I was on a roll 

All the more easier for you to control.

As a result, my health took a nose dive

You couldn’t care less, if I were dead or alive.

Zero intimacy not even near misses 

Since another, got all your kisses.

Home from work, but I couldn’t vent

Lest you would tell me to go “get bent”.

You took my money and destroyed my credit

You should be thankful there’s no ‘Women’s Reddit’.

You even got alimony from me for two years 

And all I got from you were tears.

You said cruel things and had a lot of nerve

Karma will find you, granting what you deserve…

It’s No Longer All About You

This poem that I write

Isn’t for you tonight

I write about me

About being free.

No more lies and frustration

No more games and manipulation

No more playing your crazy

And being accused of being lazy.

So now that you’re far away

I’m a happier person today

So have yourself the greatest life

Now that you’re no longer my wife…

Neglected in Love

Chew me up and spit me out

Drop me like an afterthought

This is what your love is all about

Leaving someone to fester and rot.

Take and take and never give

Selfishness your middle name

Not a happy life to live

When the relationship is like a game.

Lure me back when I fade away

Making me thing you just might care

Manipulations led us astray

When you’re caught all unaware.

No amount of love given

Will alter this torturous course

A life of misery is what you are living

Wondering if it can ever get worse.

The only thing to do

Is bring this all to a final end

Loving yourself through and through

Will assure this never happens again…

Narc 101

Why are you doing this to me?

Just stop it and set my heart free.

You’re being so cruel.

Played me for a fool.

That’s your rule.

To a “t”.
