Toxic Relationships Poems

Just judging myself

Just judging myself

I know it’s just a shame, 
that I waste my days, losing all my pride 
I push others aside, 
that affection can’t compare to those beautiful eyes 
I think of him, That voice and that grin 
And I am hooked right back and then, 
I’m wondering when he’ll be in my life again

A Eulogy for the Toxic Ex

A hundred thoughts echo through my mind
A hundred emotions I cannot unwind
3000 yearnings, 9000 turns of regret
Walking in the shadow of death


I walk slowly with a cold mind and angery heart 
At the crossroads I take the broken sigh
Waiting as I wait for the one to show up 
To die


I plot the death with poisonous

Please, I Don’t Wanna Cry More

In shadowed depths where silence wraps its cloak,
My heart, once strong, now aches in quiet plea,
For love’s lost light, a fading, gentle smoke,
Has left me cold and longing to be free.

You came like dawn, a promise of the spring,
But left me caught in winter’s cruel embrace,
Your words were warmth, yet now a bitter sting,
Each memory

Toxic Relationships

You made my love a convenience just needing me whenever you want me
used and misused, selfishly
I knew there was something fishy 
But I didn't want to explore the fish in the sea
But now I see what you truly wanted I just refused to believe
Why do we let others continue to hurt us when we know

Save You

Do you need anything? How can I help?
Is there anything I can do?
Have I fulfilled my job? Been good enough?
Have I made an effect on you?
I wanna be good at something
And I don't want you to experience pain
It's second nature at this point
I'll create sunshine though I'm made of rain
It's about time I give back
After

Toxic Relationships

Sorry, mom says I can’t 
kiss you - even with grape,
Lysol, safety lipstick  =/

Harsh pandemic facts 
and parents stand against us. 
What a hazardous waste!
