You entered loud with holy light

a savior in disguise

but every blessing that you gave

hid thorns behind the prize

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

You study me like prey to stalk

you mirror, you twist, repeat

Build an inventory of my wounds

then worship at my feet

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Your love arrives in fireworks

then leaves in quiet dread

I learned to walk on splintered eggs

and hush the things I've said

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Your hate arrives in quiet jabs

in smirks that split me thin

you watch me doubt my very breath

and count that as a win

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Your voice, a heavy sharpened blade

slicing me with every word

you say the storms are in my head

and to dismiss everything I heard

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

You spin the truth until it bends

until I can't recall

what's real, what's mine, what's memory...

you rearrange it all

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

You call me crazy, unstable, wrong

and push until I break

then I'm the one who's crazy

and should learn from my mistakes

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

You slam the doors like loaded guns

then leave without a trace

you crawl back in with empty vows

and hands that cup my face

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Your apologies are empty shells

a script you never feel

you toss around those empty words

and swear your tears are real

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

You punish me for speaking up

and smile while I plead

You fill me with your poison love

you swear it's all I need

πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Cuz I'm the one who started it

I'm the one untrue

but madness wasn't born in me

it's what I breathe from you

    Reactive Emotional Abuse - push push push until you break. I've known this all too well. I am so sorry Sara and also who ever inspired this poem can go to hell. Your words are beautiful, however. Be proud of who you are xx

    Damn πŸ˜”. You expressed the feeling of being in a narcissistic abuse relationship perfectly and poetically. Well written!
