This 5-7-5, Narcissistic Love, has the proper formatting and speaks to the corrosive nature of a relationship with one or both controlled by such self-centered emotions.

Yes, I appreciate your comments. It definitely can go both ways. This is not just one gender that behaves this way.
Happy New Year!

Hi Lana,
These few words tell us a sad story of how a narcissist ruins love or a couple. It becomes all about him/her and his/her power in the relationship. It is the kind of situation to get away from as fast a possible when you figure out that is what it is.
Keep writing an stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Joan
P.S. I would like you to know that I recently published a book titled "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com and there is a link to it at the bottom of my profile page it you are interested.

Good luck with the competition and well done.

Thank you for your review and comments Nicki! Yes, I think you are right about how this can hit home to so many people. For me it was over 30 years ago.
Happy New Year
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is the worst relationship to be trapped in. I've known such men, and they are not at all nice. This is a really powerful poem, achieved with so few words. Another excellent contest entry, Lana. Well done and good luck! :)) Sandra xx

Comment from June Sargent
Unfortunately, there are many who are incapable of loving anyone but themselves. There is no room in their hearts for another person. Your short poem powerfully reminds us to beware of these emotional vampires.

I got shivers from this piece,
Your use of so few words to paint such a powerful picture is amazing. Having survived domestic violence I can really relate to what you have shared here. Thank you so much for sharing such a powerful piece.

Thank you! Yes, I also was a survivor of domestic violence in two relationships. I've been in a healthy one for the last 30 years, so I'm thankful that I didn't stay in the others longer than I did.
Enjoy your Monday!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I have known such a love and it was not love at all as Narcissists are incapable of loving anyone except themselves. I learned a lot about myself during this destructive relationship. I enjoyed your few chilling words Lana, love Dolly x x x

I'm no poet. But I admire and respective how one takes the restraints of a particular poem and makes it work. This grabbed me on an emotional level. I have a former son in law who it reminds me of...enough said. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your review. Yes it is a difficult relationship to be in. I'm sure as a father that would've been very hard to see your daughter. Go through difficult times. I'm sure my dad felt the same way when I was in something like this over 30 years ago.
Enjoy your Monday!
