A Letter to the Narcissist – No. 27
You are romance and poetry and passion.
You are seduction and fantasy and imagery.
You are the subjunctive voice, personified.
Your truth draws me to you, like a current. I slip into it, unwittingly.
We are tethered.
Inevitably, my languorous slide tangles in other, inexorable truths.
I am startled, moored, again.

Well done! I loved it.
Hello, H.G.Tudor.
Holland won Eurovision, With the song Arcade.
For American readers, Eurovision is a music festival where all European Union countries including Israel participate with songs and one of them is launched by viewers via Telefonica.
On this occasion I win Holland with the song Arcade sung by Duncan Laurence…
Here you have the lyrics, which is not wasted. A song that reflects how empathic victims end up after a relationship with a narcissist.
A sad song, like life itself with the narcissist.
Arcade
A broken heart is all that’s left,
I’m still fixing all the cracks,
Lost a couple of pieces when,
I carried it, carried it, carried it home.
I’m afraid of all I am,
My mind feels like a foreign land,
Silence ringing inside my head,
Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home.
I spent all of the love I’ve saved,
We were always a losing game,
Small-town boy in a big arcade,
I got addicted to a losing game,
Ooh, ooh,
All I know, all I know,
Loving you is a losing game.
How many pennies in the slot,
giving us up, didn’t take a lot,
I saw the end before it begun,
Still I carried, I carried, I carried on.
Ooh, ooh
All I know, all I know,
Loving you is a losing game.
I don’t need your games, game over,
Get me off this rollercoaster,
Ooh, ooh,
All I know, all I know,
Loving you is a losing game.

What she does not perceive is that she is all that, not him…
Provacative photo, very fitting. It moves me just as much as the words…
