Short Toxic Relationship Poems

Please, I beg
Leave, at once
His eyes froze me
As his words cut
Me deep
Leaving scars
On my skin
Save me
We can create miracles
He whispers...

I was oblivious to the fact
what is toxic,
When I stumbled upon toxic,
amazing voice, 
looks decent,
beautiful thoughts we shared.
then poison spread....

• A warm liquid racing down my face 
• Staring at the ground like a fool
• I guess I've really done it now
• She seems to have lost her cool...

An act so practiced
like an invisible mask
If I see past
things will smash
our past wounds like food
for inadiquecies that keep us
intact 
or rather keep me 
coming back....

I always thought I was the moth, desperately trying to stay in your light no matter how many times you swatted

But now I see, I was only drawn to your light because it had been mine all along and you'd stolen it from me...

Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul.

Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades.
Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home.

“What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”...

I ripped the skin off my fingers, I didn’t want a fingerprint that had touched you to linger. 

You could never deserve the feeling that my fingers could grace your skin, spat out your kisses as if I didn’t love the taste of toxicity that dribbled down my chin. 

Never known a love to stay, they always crack and crumble to my dismay....

Your "I love you" is like a noose
And your touch is
a touch too cruel
You swore you'd treat me apple pie sweet
I should've tasted the cyanide
Known you were killing me
But now you're all stuck
In my lungs
Cigarette smoke
It's a slow choke
You'll never let me free or
Leave me alone
Goodbye love
I'm hanging up the phone...

Sore shoulders
Rough nightmares
In my sacred pillow
An unexpected message
From the past
Under a new name
I feel the hair on my neck tingle
I'm being watched
An autumn has passed
So much has been done
So much cannot be undone
I wake in fear
Exhale in relief
The weight has 
Already been lifted
My hands aren't tied
To a detonating bomb
I rub my wrists
Free
But weirdly uncomfortable
To not have the
Handcuffs of lead
on my wrists anymore...

Step back to move forward,
Step back to appreciate,
Step back to see the big picture,
Step back to avoid the precipice.

Step back stay in good health,
Step back before you lose all your wealth,
Step back before you become addicted,
Step back before your tongue runs away with you.

Step back to collect your thoughts,
Step back when the law requires it,
Step back from a toxic relationship,
Step back from the middle of the road.

Step back in time at your own risk....
