Refuse to Be a Drunkard's Booze

A narcissist
gaslights you about your cruelty
when you try to cut them off.
But don’t ever kiss
and make up.
The narcissist
has a dip-switch
that converts them to injured royalty.
You'll have to cut them off
or they’ll pet you with their fist
again—as if you were a junior member of the English faculty,
in the narcissist’s
web, as it were, pricking their itch
to bite a pretty little fly—
in sexy cutoffs
no less. How rich
he’s struck it! Fly away now, fly away, pretty fly!
A narcissist
must be cut off.
