Twisted Tales

In the twisted lair of the narcissist, A seed of manipulation is planted, Slowly taking root in the unsuspecting heart Of an innocent soul, now haunted. With honeyed words and charming smiles, They weave a complex web of deceit, Drawing their victim in with false promises And illusions of love, so sweet. But beneath the surface lies a darkness, A hunger for power and control, The narcissist feeds on the fragile emotions Of their partner, taking their toll. Gaslighting and manipulation become the norm, As the narcissist tightens their grip, Slowly eroding the confidence and self-worth Of the one they claim to worship. Isolation follows, as the narcissist Wields their influence like a weapon, Cutting off ties to friends and family To maintain their partner's devotion. The unhinged partner becomes a puppet, Dancing to the narcissist's tune, Their once bright spirit dimmed and broken, Lost in a fog of emotional ruin. But the narcissist cares not for the wreckage They leave in their wake, For they thrive on the chaos and destruction Their toxic influence creates. So beware the sweet words of the narcissist, For behind the facade lies a heart of stone, A master of manipulation and deceit, Creating unhinged partners to call their own.
