I Choose Life

The way you love me is toxin, Your existence is haphazard. You grip me like I am your only option, Penetrating my heart like a blizzard. Your touch leaves signs that never fade, A typhoon that rages lacking an end. In the chaos, I feel both trapped and swayed, Caught between love and the necessity to defend. I’m confused in the chaos you create, A maze with no exit, no way to escape. Chasing you is my destruction, Receiving your pleasure is poison. Your love is a drug, sweet but full of hate, Pulling me deeper, no room for grace. Being without you, I thought I couldn’t, Peace over chaos is what I am choosing! The fire you ignited, it flames my soul, But in your absenteeism, I begin to feel whole. The gloom you gave, I no longer crave, I’m breaking free, no longer your slave. No more will I hide in your lies, I’m reaching for the light, cutting all ties. What formerly was affection has transformed to decay, Now I’m reclaiming my life, I’m walking away.
