The Signs of a Gaslighting Narcissist

Obviously a gaslighting narcissist can be any gender. This poem is in regards to a GN character who is a man however the signs are the same. If had known this I could have saved myself and my family years of suffering. I hope these words are helpful for someone- helping them to realise what has happened before it’s too late.


Recognise the signs of a gaslighting narcissist
An abuser who will try to drain you dry
recognise the signs so you don’t become blind and
Wake up one day with everything gone.

He’ll make you feel good at the start just like he should
He’ll be charming attentive and seem wonderful
But all he’ll do is take take take and give you nothing in return
And whatever you give will never be enough
He’ll make you believe that you’re nothing without him
He’ll play around with your mind so you don’t know yourself
He’ll force you to say and do things that you don’t want to say or do
This is how he’ll gain control of you.
And don’t you think he can’t do this to you
Don’t think that you’re immune
It doesn’t matter how intelligent you are
He’ll still get to you he’s a toxic vampire – so

He thinks he is superior and has special powers And has the right to make you small
He thinks you exist just to serve and satisfy him And he won’t consider your needs at all.
And he thinks he knows it all
He wants to control you he wants to own you
He’ll tell you lies to make you feel confused
And if you should confront him with his lies
he’ll just look you in the eye and
deny deny deny so

He’ll isolate you from friends and your family
He’ll make you question your reality
And when you cry cry cry till your eyes are dry dry dry
He’ll look at you with no feeling at all.

And if you should tell him of your fears and painful memories
He’ll use that as ammunition to hurt you
He won’t care that you feel that there’s nothing left to live for
He’ll leave you for dead and move on with his life
So don’t let him into your life
And what ever you do don’t become his wife

And don’t you think he can’t do this to you
Don’t think that you’re immune
It doesn’t matter how intelligent you are
He’ll still get to you he’s a toxic vampire – so

He may seem like the embodiment of your dreams But in reality he’s a nightmare

is to terminate all contact with him.
And no you can’t heal him with your love because He’s the devil incarnate and he’ll steal your soul so
