Best Toxic Love Poems


Non-Toxic Love

Non-Toxic Love

Pecking order glances
Destroys friendship chances
Dissolves love, annuls romances.

Surviving smart as a fox…
Smooths that road of hard knocks…
So step out of the box.

Live above mental kicks.
Care, without verbal pricks,
Strengthen homes made of sticks.

Avoid hot gossiping lips
Prevent ill judger's grips.
Watch the evil one do flips.

Find peace with the white dove.
Be sheltered by God above.
Receive His gift… non-toxic love.

I Breathe Lies

Betwixt our deceptive connection
Lies told, to always end in
I’ll never have a profound perspective
As my skepticism results in your grin

When our paths crossed
Like two sailboats in a panoramic sea
I believed you were mannerly
Though, sprouted unexpectedly was your immorality

My standpoint was already set 
My conception was that you’d abet
To all the curves, bumps, and facets of me
Though you’d never devote to me
You’d only break me to debris

Every word transmitted from your “soul”
Carried no true sentimental worth
Yet I believed you, over my mind you had control
Desiring for your concealed lies to rebirth

Lies and gas-lighting were brought upon me
Despite your affectionate expressions
I thought truth be told, that I was free
But I’m now trapped under your early impressions

Doubting and doubting your false affection
Perhaps you don’t know how to express emotion?
But deep inside, I know that’s untrue
That I’m just someone to be used, at least to you

Though acceptance is quite challenging for me
I’m unsure of why I still trust you
As you treat me like nobody
Though these lies will forever pursue.

Toxic Love

I sit in your webb  of destruction waiting 
waiting for the bite that will be suffocating 
turning my love into death 
as the spider takes his last dying breath, 

Toxic love, the only love I know 
smack in the fsce was the way I was shown 
Go to your room and disappear 
stop that crying right this moment did you not here? 

As I sit in this webb of toxic loneliness 
I make my final dying wish 
to take this one risk 
and let someone know i did exist.

Toxic Love

Realize how no one compares to you
When intoxicated you drown out the sorrow you've locked a way 
From seeing all those tiny little specks of gold in your eyes
I knew the moment I met you 
That those three words would never come from your lips 
With an toxic kiss 
A sewed up heart
It all seems so clear now

I know the story you hide behind
The only thing you had was love 
Until one shattered that sewed up heart of yours
I believe in the dreams you leave behind 
I see the notes unfold every moment you look into my eyes
Just by seeing those beautiful brown eyes 
You behold the logical reason of never saying I love you 
Though I still wonder why you look into my eyes
Intoxicating me with that mysterious look
But knowing you the reason of falling for someone you knew for so long never really works out

Toxic kiss
Toxic look
Toxic love
Toxic touch
Toxic everything
Intoxication never used to work on me 
For I was just the girl behind the class
Always chosen last 
Never anyone's friend
With belief Neverland and peter pan was a real place and person
But I guess being loved by you was all it took to fall 
Thinking intoxication was the only way my heart would yield for moments every time you were in sight

The One I Hate To Love

I've cried for you I've lied for you 
To this day i'd lay down my life and die for you
You could smile watching me bleed out on the floor, you could hit me in the face and i'd blame it in the door 

You are my favorite type of misery the best method of self destruction I've ever had
you are the one I love you are the one I hate 
my forever and always

his love so toxic
his dream became her nightmare
distraught mother begs 

helpless onlookers
suspended from the window
he just let them go

he killed their children
helpless as her tears roll down
her will to live gone

Toxic Love

The air I breathe is poison
Filled, with toxic love
With each breath I take, I suffocate
For it's you, I'm thinking of

I'm dying from the inside out
A little more each day
An infection, of your rejection
And it will not go away

A fatal disease, without a cure
My heart will turn to stone
It won't be long, before I'm gone
I feel so all alone

My soul cries out in agony
The pain, too much to bear
Growing fast, this cancerous past
A coma, of despair

I die a slow and painful death
Drowning in my tears
A broken heart, that's torn apart
Withers. and disappears

Toxic Love

Because no matter the cost,
I loved you through the storm, 
But you gave me nothing but pain.

My eyes hazy with unshed tears for you,
And my heart heavy with hurt by you,
I walked away.

I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.
That you were the reason my soul never seemed to smile,
And you were the cause my heart never truly felt at peace.

I was at war with myself.
Should I battle my love for you, 
Should I battle myself for loving you?

I never knew,
Because at the end of the day,
I didn’t matter, not for you anyway,
Neither did what I held for you.

I let you break me,
Thinking that you will put me back together,
But you broke me in such a way that even the angels could do nothing but watch.

So, I left you.
I left you and I walked away,
And I have never felt such an immense calm before.
I don’t regret it, leaving you that is.

And now I know that love never comes without consequences,
Some we are willing to take, some we are not.
Because life is not a fairytale.

The War of Toxic Love

Blisters on my feet, 
Scarred deep within,
Oh, the pain,
That pain after the sin,
My heart drops,
Every bullet I shoot,
Every bruise he creates,
When is it going to stop?
The fear I have,
When he knocks on that door,
Lock it?
Or should I prepare for war?
No.
It'll create the war,
The never-ending war,
I really can't-do this anymore!
Every tear I cry scars onto my skin,
Every scar is deep within,
I am firing my last fire,
Against the so-called victim,
I need to leave the battlefield,
Spread the hate,
Send my love,
The dove flies over,
The sky grows dark,
My last bullet,
My last tear,
Bullet to my head,
Hands on my neck,
Mission Complete,
Oh, she's dead?

Toxic Love Story

TOXIC LOVE
 
Your venom spreads, contagious, 
Words spoken, wild and outrageous, 
Attitude ungracious and relentless, 
The Dark side of your resilience
 
Sobriety, 
an outsider’s plea, 
Unseen in your bustling society, 
I stand guard, my presence discreet, 
Curious when your darkness will leave. 
 
I tread the path of rollercoaster emotions.
A love potion in silent devotion, 
Sacrificing all, heedless of the fall, 
Chasing a fleeting notion’s call. 
 
I forgive your disrespect, 
Dismiss the hurt from your neglect, 
Yet your rejection of me, 
Lingers, suspect, like a shadow’s plea.
 
Your "Baby Mamma Drama,"
a symphony of strife, 
Notes of toxicity, discordant life, 
Emotional wombs echo trauma’s plea, 
Where periods pause, and commas set us free. 
 
Let me be your intoxication, 
Love—the soul’s sweet motivation, 
Darkness drips from your poisoned lips, 
Etching heartbreak and love drops that drip.

I tell myself I won’t miss you
Yet deep within, I know I will

A Tear In My Heart

A large shard seems to missing,
A large part of who I am has changed,
A piece of me that makes up a whole.
It All came tumbling down it didn't take time.
It took a few words, a hurtful Malicious word.
To bring my pain, my agony of existing.
I no longer feel joy.
I no longer feel that tingling excitment. 
I feel a sense of loss.
Something broken...something Not whole...

Toxic Love

Thinking to much is not good.
Good for you Heart.
Heart envolve in Flames.
Flames from the Fire.
Fire of our Heart.
Heart that beats much.
It's not enough good.
Good day's are Tiny.
Tiny when you want more.
More than just one day.
Day of Wonders.
Wonders like you.
You are the Wonder that my eyes see.
See you around me.
Put me in Flames.
Flames that envolve me.
Me and You.
You are Toxic for me.

I'm the Problem

It's not like I can tell you I love you
How would I even say it?
Those three words?
They don't mean anything anymore
We've all heard them so many times (in some way or another), that it's practically an old cliché
As true as it might be, we'll never imbibe the meaning
Not as long as poets like me exist
We have ruined the impact

Venom Kiss

You pull me in like a velvet snare,
whisper lies in the midnight air.
Every touch is a loaded gun,
but I can’t stop, no, I won’t run.

Dripping sweet like cyanide,
I taste the death behind your smile.
Tangled tight in your design,
one more hit, just one more time.

Venom kiss, lace my veins,
burning slow but I love the pain.
You’re the fire, I’m the chain,
wrapped around, I can’t escape.
Venom kiss, steal my breath,
you're the fever, I’m the death.
Toxic love, no turning back,
you're the best I've ever had.

Your love’s a noose, but I crave the rope,
choke me slow with a thread of hope.
Every word is a wicked spell,
but I’d follow you straight to hell.

Dripping sweet like cyanide,
I taste the death behind your smile.
Tangled tight in your design,
one more hit, just one more time.

Venom kiss, lace my veins,
burning slow but I love the pain.
You’re the fire, I’m the chain,
wrapped around, I can’t escape.
Venom kiss, steal my breath,
you're the fever, I’m the death.
Toxic love, no turning back,
you're the best I've ever had.

I should run, I should break free,
but you’re the drug that’s killing me.
Ink-black night, your wicked game,
say my name, I’ll stay the same.

Venom kiss, lace my veins,
burning slow but I love the pain.
You’re the fire, I’m the chain,
wrapped around, I can’t escape.
Venom kiss, steal my breath,
you're the fever, I’m the death.
Toxic love, no turning back,
you're the best I've ever had.

Venom kiss… (one more taste)
Venom kiss… (no escape)
