The Narcissist’s Guide to Creating a Great Poet

Tell her she’s fantastic that you have never met one like her,

then critique the way she wears her hair and how she made your dinner

*

Tell her she’s your dream girl, and your better since she found you.

Then politely point out a tiny flaws, but that they don’t really bother you

*

Go on and on about her looks, you can’t even look at another.

Then flirt with every women, pointing out how much you love her

*

Inundate, don’t let her breathe, convince her that she needs you.

Then tell her that you need some space, she’s overcrowding you.

*

Reassurance here is key, let her know you didn’t mean that.

Then undermine her apology, by shaking your head and laughing.

*

Buy her things she doesn’t need, say you want to spoil her rotten.

When she buys something on her own, say- you don’t appreciate what you’ve gotten.

*

Up and down and on and on, until her head is hazy.

Right to the edge you push her, so your friends think she is crazy

*

Push her away, then pull her back, it gets easier every day

She caters to you now, she’s in it, and you just came to play
