Wasted
Drained Energy (An Old Poem Revisited)
He told me
he was wasted
from the day
That's why
he couldn't see me
*
Then he blamed me
for wasting his energy
the night before
when we were talking
cuddling, kissing, loving
*
He said I left him depleted
*
I guess he forgot
how he hurried me
out the door at 7am
just so he could
go on a date
with another woman
*
I guess he forgot
that he had left me
as quick as possible
hiked
a couple miles
through a mountain
and dehydrated himself
in a hot spring
*
I guess he forgot
that he worked a full day
physically exhausting himself
healing other people
*
I guess he's unaware
how energetically draining
it is
just to be around a narcissist
all day at work
*
He was wasted
on his own accord
but he blamed me
*
Like he did
with everything
*
because his ego
doesn't like to accept
responsibility
so he projected onto me
*
He was wasted
by his own lifestyle
not aware that
even though
he's not a narcissist
the more you hang around them
the more your behavior
will reflect their egoic tendencies
*
He wasted himself
like he wasted
a real relationship
with the truest woman
he will ever have
*
Because instead of
nourishing what would set him free
he decided he was comfortable
wearing his chains
