Built by your own

"Narcissists think like this:

‘How dare you remind me

of what I did to you and how it hurt you?

It bothers me to think about the pain I caused you.’"

This relationship taught me

that the more chances you give someone,

the less they appreciate you.

You were never afraid of losing me,

because you knew how hard it was for me

to walk away...

You told me to be patient, that you would change.

But you only changed your mask inside, you were always the same.

And I, blinded, believed you every time.

Sometimes you love so much that you don’t realize

the ‘story of two’ was something you built all on your own.

And I kept staying, hoping things would change,

hoping that one day you'd choose me

without needing reminders on how to do it.

But then I realized something:

I was teaching you how to treat me

through everything I kept tolerating.

And I will never again let someone feel so comfortable disrespecting me.

You told me to be patient, that you would change.

But you only changed your mask inside, you were always the same.

And I, blinded, believed you every time.

Sometimes you love so much that you don’t realize

the ‘story of two’ was something you built all on your own.

For those who have been broken by love.

For those who are afraid to let themselves be loved again.

For those still trapped by a goodbye they didn’t choose.

For those who, every day, fight not to be crushed by their own pain.

And the hard part isn’t letting you go:

it’s accepting that no matter how

much you gave… true love is something else.

And I deserve that something else.

You told me to be patient, that you would change.

But you only changed your mask inside, you were always the same.

And I, blinded, believed you every time.

Sometimes you love so much that you don’t realize

the ‘story of two’ was something you built all on your own.

You told me to be patient, that you would change.

But you only changed your mask inside, you were always the same.

And I, blinded, believed you every time.

Sometimes you love so much that you don’t realize

the ‘story of two’ was something you built all on your own.
