Narcissism as a mode of operation To love and ruin as a dual fascination Without control you lack a sense of intent Constant creation of a truth to augment Power comes from the things that you take A youngling, another spirit to break Poisoned supply, from the hand that gives A cold shoulder, no force to forgive Am I not worthy of love? I'm not proud of my accomplishments either Does it find you after all? Is this bond instated by survivors? So take this gift That you bestowed on me And hold it over my head so affectionately This frail bond that led me astray A beacon to homе and__ a road to dismay I see the strain when it's time to connect I feel the resent with the loss of respect Validation through pain The act of love never without restrain Beg for all that you get A life ruined, already spent Find comfort in the mirage Pains color, your hidden flaws The festering wound, and the trail of deceit A shift of power, and the anguish at your feet A simple vow to deter from the wreck I'll feel the weight of shame wrapped around my neck A paper crane wish shot into the sky I dream one day to never have to live a lie So take this gift That you bestowed on me And hold it over my head so affectionately All the weight that's forced on me Regrets on the life you spent A figure for all you resent
