      Mad Woman - Kat Savage

      I’m Sorry, I Thought We Were Talking About Me

      My two most favorite books are by the same author. He typed them, bound them by hand, and gave them magnificent titles only we would understand. Most pieces have never been seen by anyone but us. I love them because they are about me. Every single word.

      And that was when I realized I’m a narcissist.

      When I told him this and he asked me, Does it make me a narcissist too, knowing I wrote your two favorite books?

      I told him yes.

      And that was when I realized we are all narcissists trying desperately to forget this long enough to fall in love with each other.

      Most love, I’ve observed, is narcissism at its finest and most cunning. Love is always about how you feel but not necessarily how the other person feels. The notion that simply because you love someone they should be willing to love you in return.

      I love you.

      Here I am.

      Love me back.

      And we have the audacity to be wounded over the loss of something we never really had.

      They say you can’t help who you fall in love with and I suppose that’s true. But, as narcissists, we must

      remember we love ourselves more than we loved them. And we are better than licking our wounded asses in public.

      We are better than that.

      The last

      The

      that you waited for

      but never arrived

      will taste like

      a blade.
