A degree in D

The boxes are unpacked, and I put
My graduation hat on my hair. 
"You're an adult now," my toxic love still
Says, "stop acting like people care." 

'Am I now the Pigeon, D? Do I
Refuse to stay? 
Will I drive my dearest love apart
With who I am today?'

'You see, D, there are no feathers now
That flaunt and lend me wings. 
That Child came too close and so
You're pecking at their things.'

"Yes you are an adult now," And the
Voice won't go away
So I scrub and clean and write in black
On paper, boxes, hardened clay. 

When my boyfriend comes to bed tonight
He lays down and straight to sleep
But you, D, with your toxic love

--------
Thump
Thump
Thump

You are causing my heart rate, D. 
You're inserting your red ink into me
Like an unrelenting pump.


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)

I Was Right

step backward from this fixation
when you weren't
an addiction
step back even further
to a time where we'd pass by-
a glance, 
hello
that was it

and then nights never ended
and this love we pretended
it was us against the world
4 months conquered -
unconditionally toxic love
so poisonous the gases leaked 
exposed the already exposed heart
that was half healed
horrific hostile obsession
that masked the love it should have
masked the face that was exposed
from the gases of my in constructed heart-
unaware
so fast
you came in swept me up

filling my heart
with an aesthetic passion
one I've never yet had
tortured, punctured, heart oozing-
it's a shame we both knew it was wrong
clinging onto a feeling much more than lust-
needing, exceeding, secluding
unconditionally committed to the wrong
but now I wish I was right...

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

Premium Member Toxic Heart Art

I’ve been listening to your eyes
The way they smile the way they cry
Pulling for miles red heart’s insides

Little crows feet forming thin lines
Telling what tickle’s mahogany mind
Or what pickles in memory’s teal time

You’ve got hearts on a string
Obedient like art got them trained 
Glance from you like calling name

Love is a Lion and so we roar 
Walking the tightrope high above floor
Fearing only the one we adore

For if you abandoned us 
We’d be lost and scandalous 
Preferring tough love not lust

Serve us like plates of soul food
For amethyst audience to consume 
Each heartbreak an amber art bloom

Will you tire of the balancing act
Do you desire playing with fact
Unconditional love you wear like hat

Even a broken clock can be right
Once a day once a neon night
Is it time to say green goodbye

To a love that is so strong 
Despite dilemma life long
Heart holds on to you like a song

Love of a toxic parent is wild
Makes us licorice laugh makes us smile 
Makes us mad facing facts despite denial

True love

I deserve that love that chooses to love you on the good and bad days
I want that love where leaving each other is our last option 
Better yet that leaving is not an option
I don’t want toxic love
I want true love
A love that respects you 
A love that values you
I deserve it after the hell I’ve been through 
I am not into just being in a relationship just be in it
I want to love you 
I want to understand you 
Having someone who understands that I love in a way you might not be use to 
I only want the man that God has made for me 
The one who is sent to me
True love is rare to have but I know that God loves me
He hears me
I won’t settle for nothing less than true love
I know that God has a certain person made for me
True love is what I need 
It is apart of my destiny

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.

Secret tongues, intertwine

You open your mouth 
And my breath comes out 
My heart spilled on your chest 
I know what happens next
Fingers intertwine 
I’ll let you blur the line 

We’ve synced our hand watches, our breathes,
Our time and upward motions
Our souls whisper and kiss 
Linguistics meet their stand in 
Looks and tells, a longing, dripping cheeks 
A hum, a nod, a wink to God 
Publicly known words replaced with privately-owned sounds 
So as not to water down 
What’s already been found 
‘For the message is foolishness to those who are perishing’
All valuable things are done in secret 
Secret tongues, intertwine
I’ll let you blur the line

We’re getting by, 
year by moment
Unblinded and defiant, I asked you to carve your name into my skin
I’m under the covers, inside your chest
Blood pumps and beats, 
Whispering vows breath-soft in morse code 
You’re always running a beat behind mine

Leave me

Leave me 
Let me be in peace 
Am not in your gang of deceit 
Am not interesting to be among 
The circle of weakness 
Am not dying to live 
Instead I want to live to live again 
I have been passing through my times 
I suffer my pains alone 
No one wears my shoes to know where it inches my foot 
I have been walking my journey well alone 
I never hurt no one with my life style 
So leave me alone in peace 
I just want to be my self 





Leave me 
Am picking up the pieces of my broken trust 
Am mending the scars of lies 
Am repairing the betrayals of love ones 
Am fixing the damages of toxic love 
Am never going back to where it all falls 
Am walking away from troubles 
There is no better days with sorrows 
So Am putting in check all that pulls me down and take me back to darkness 
Despite am not perfect 
Yet I want to live to live again 
So let me be in peace with the 
Songs of my soul 
Let me feel freedom with the air of a true redemption 
I just want to be myself
Form: Epic

unfortunately commonplace love

waltz partnered by the phantom
that was your once loving self,
undoubtedly accompanied by 
potent hopeful aromas, yet
undertoned by doubt upon
translucent features materializing,
your true colours, feared interference,
ghostly eyes boring elsewhere.

a dance now sluggish as
upon the lower limbs formation,
choosing actively to escape
abandoning miasmas
of potent rotten love
intoxicating with dependence
that's not mine to chase.

unanswered questions linger
inescapable transformed rhetorical
that should've, for once,
forced a truth from your lips
that burn with lies, eternally aflame,
bringing every soul down with
your unfaithful, meaningless kisses.

lone upon the laminate dance floor,
as if a shattered mirrorball
the shards bursting fool's hope
right in the heart. pained reflection 
of better times, ignorant
of the vast masts of red fabric,
washes through like waves—
yet drowning, flooding with woe
meandering every vessel

it swirls with acid
leaking from streaming ducts,
mixing with cruent crimson wine
from your backstabbing 
dance affair, filling,
scathing the lungs aflame.
the last sooted breath stings—
tasting like bitter betrayal, 
piercing the heart with finality.
it gazes as your heart swells,
for the next pretty thing,
and it shrinks tenfold
with hopeless realization.
