Choosing Love Over Narcissism

Narcissistic love is a one-way street,
Where everything is about them, and not you or me.
They seek to control and manipulate,
To dominate and subjugate.
But love is not a power play,
It's not about what one can gain.
Love is about respect and trust,
And nurturing bonds that never rust.
If you find yourself in the grips,
Of a narcissist's power trips,
Remember that you have the power,
To love and cherish yourself every hour.
Set healthy boundaries and walk away,
From those who seek to cause you pain.
Choose love that is reciprocal and true,
And let your spirit shine through.
