Narcissistic Love
Trapped in an unhealthy love34 total reviews
Comment from Monica Chaddick
This is such a horrible thing to have to deal with and you have certainly explained things about it in a few short lines.
The sad thing is that the narcissist can be a partner, a parent, a child, or more than one of these, as I recently read that they are finding narcissism runs in families. I am currently dealing with a narcissistic elderly parent, as well as a narcissistic, sociopathic adult daughter.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is a powerful post, Lana! I love the visual which complements the force of your verse, conveying the sense of entrapment and suffocation at the hands of someone who will only ever love himself. Your 5-7-5 perfectly fits the brief. Well done and good luck! Warm wishes Debbie

Thank you so much, Debbie. After I wrote it, I asked AI to generate a picture a good looking man and a gal with a chain on her heart. This is what it came back with and I love it. Thank you as always for your kind review. Have a wonderful day.

Powerful and so true! It deserves a six but unfortunately I don't have one. Your words scream "domestic abuse" and the reason most find it impossible to escape the vicious cycle. Great job! Good luck in the contest.
Smiles, Carol

Thank you so much, Carol, I'm glad it had the impact I intended it to have. Unfortunately people experience this for me. It was over 30 years ago. I'm thankful for God's protection during a difficult time. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you Sally! Unfortunately it was true but it was over 30 years ago so I was able to get out of it sooner than most people do when they're trapped in this type of relationship. For me about five years and then was in another relationship similar that I stayed in for a couple years. I have now been married to a wonderful Man the last 28 years. Have a blessed day and things are stepping in for your review.

Comment from Peter Jarvis
Hi Lana
Your haiku is very, very powerful and expresses a lot of emotions in such a short poem.
The poem portrays the intense feelings and the devastating nature of the narcissistic relationship.The selection of words such as 'poison' and 'traps' make it easy to feel the pain of being betrayed and trapped.
This haiku gives a vivid account of a devastating experience in a few words. Such simplicity of the haiku form makes the language of the poem quite expressive of the intense feelings.
Every line of your Haiku is packed with imagery that creates a vivid emotional impact. This is evident from lines such as "Marred by your poison" which paints a picture of being ruined or damaged while the second line "Chained by emotional traps" depicts feelings of being held captive by cunning strategies.
This poem is so powerful that I wonder if the author has experienced such narcissistic behaviour. (There is no need to answer!)
Warmest regards

This is a great review thank you so much. I appreciate your generous stars! I did go through that over 30 years ago, but I know other people now that are experiencing this as well.

I wish you well Lana
Take great care
Comment from Brenda Strauser
These are good words to use for a narcissist. I love the picture. It goes well with the poem. This type of love is so hard to break away from. Great job on this.

Comment from lyenochka
That's very hard when someone is "chained by emotional traps" (suggest making it plural so that you don't have to use the indefinite article here. ) Unfortunately, a narcissist can only love self and the one who loves him/her will not have a healthy relationship. Best wishes in the contest!
