Narcissist Narrative

The narcissist said, "I am walking away Because you act out whenever you get hurt." But the truth is, it was his own dismay That caused our love to slowly revert. He wanted me to take the blame For something I didn't even do, But I refused to play his game And let his delusions ensue. Our circus act had grown old, The same patterns playing out each day, And the narcissist, so bold, Sought something new to sway. But I knew all along That I was no fool, And I couldn't continue to prolong This toxic love that made me feel so cruel. So as he walked away, I stood tall and strong, Knowing that I would be okay And that I didn't deserve to be treated wrong. I let go of the delusions, The gaslighting and manipulation, And started on my own conclusions Without his toxic affiliation. And as I watched him fade Into the distance of the past, I embraced the newfound shade Of independence that would forever last.
