I think probably the worst thing you can do to a narcissist is withhold attention. This feels very meta to me--writing about how you aren't going to write about someone. Kind of like being caught in a time-travel loop, if that make sense? The poem's first three stanzas negate the final one, making the whole thing say more than is contained in its literal words. (As poetry does.)

As for me, I won't write about my children's father (another narcissistic person). Given him too much of my life already.
