Poem Commentary

Another new one, dealing with my divorce

Narcisistic Blow

As long as my life revolved around you
and I did not question your version of truth
and you were the only man in my sights
me always submitting my personal rights

You were the smartest
person on Earth
and from you, my darling,
I drew my worth
Defending your choices
no matter how wrong
I lived in your
service for far, far too long

You looked in my eyes and
you had to see
that sparkle reflecting
you ment ALL to me
As long as I did things
how they must be done
the sweetness of honey
could drip from your tounge

But when I started getting
my own needs met
Your goal changed;
to chain me to my own regret
You used my guilt feelings
to whip this old horse
to work even harder
sacrifice even worse

But my life couldnt' be
all about you
too shallow...still dreaming
for dreams to come true
you lived in this fantasy
that life owed you much
and I owed you more
just your personal crutch

I carried you too far
and I finally see
the efforts I gave you
--when they belonged to me!
