'toxic State' of Mind Control

She was a chill drink of water, found him sublimely toxic went down smooth and easy, a bad boy finessing timely advances, yet, her mama learned her good about those types and sugar, turned the tables on him added brine to his own elixir so the poison was sure to burn Toxic State Contest - FJ Thomas

Some relationships can be just that, toxic in their own way. Better to show him the door lest you find yourself at the bottom of the vat. I liked the dark humor in this Paloma. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent my friend. A relationship or a personality can be just as toxic as taking poison. Best to be rid of him. Loved this. Well Done. A seven from me. God Bless and thanks so much for the kind words on my "Home Alone At Night". JB
