Awag Poems | Examples


Just to tie me down

But you loved me for the girl i was
Not the girl i am nor the girl i was becoming 
Not loving me with my flaws 
But loving me for my flaws 
So together you can tie me down

You wrapped me in your poisonous arms
And whispered sweet nothings in my ears 
You suffocated me with your toxic charm
And made me believe it was love that i feared 

You loved me for my brokenness 
For the shards of my shattered dreams
You loved me for my vulnerability 
For the weaknesses that made me scream

You loved me for my dependence on you 
For the way i couldn't breathe without you
You loved me for my loss of identity 
For the way i lost myself in you 

But I'm breaking from your toxic grasp 
I'm learning to love myself,to heal, to mend 
I'm finding my voice, my strength, my way
And I'm leaving you and your toxic love to decay

Your love was a prison, a chain that bound
But I'm shattering the shackles,I'm spreading my wings
I'm flying awag from your toxic embrace 
And I'm finding my own way , my own pace
