she was incapable
of doing what was right
wasn’t moved
to undo the damage her actions left behind
no remorse
no empathy
no compassion
no connection
narcissists can’t be what we need
nor do what we deserve
nor heal themselves enough
to give us a desired remedy
it’s like time stood still
in the formation of their soul
solid and impenetrable
never truly warming to us
Always great to read your posts, Susi dear.
