Miss Fix It
She is her successes,
she is her failures.
The empath and the narcissist.
Joint innocently –
Miss Fixer Upper needed work,
Miss Fix It needed work.
Told innocently –
Chitter chatter about this and that.
Similar paths in some sense.
Miss Fixer Upper only heard:
whatever Miss Fix It had,
Miss Fixer Upper hadn’t.
Revealed innocently –
Miss Fixer Upper fished for compliments,
got lampooned instead.
Alas,
her tortured carnivorous heart,
boiled within,
her narcissistic supply,
depleted within…
but a new victim’s vignette to bait!
Alas,
her tortured vegan heart,
boiled within,
her giving nature,
toiled within…
but successfully repaired!
