My Addiction To Your Love Was Worse Than Any Substance Because Nobody Told Me Love's Homicidal

x You, the one who hurts me. x You, the one who chains me. x You, the one who controls me like a puppet. x You, the one who has my strings tied to your fingers. x You're making my choices yours and I've gotten used having no say. x Weave the webbing you create, Trap me like a fly. x Everytime you hurt me, I manage to pretend that I am blind. Im clearly not but I lie and tell myself "She cant be that bad!" ... Can she? x To me you're like a cigarette, Im addicted to your love despite it being the thing that's killing me, I don't want to stop but this time I won't let myself answer your calls. x Instead, you fill up my head. Memories, Cravings, Feelings. Withdrawal drowns me. x I should burn every excuse I made for your abuse, But I don't. x Keep promising myself I won't go back to you, But I've never quit successfully. x Halfway through another cigarette, I promised it'd be my last 3 packs ago. But I knew I'd likely never quit. I don't even get a buzz anymore, I feel nothing for them. x I feel nothing for you. Pain is fuel for frustration, Because I don't have a will to quit. x You lassoed me and pulled me in, just to tear me and my everything apart. Thoughts of you flood back any time I leave, a voice of silk whispering to me. Claiming one more time won't hurt. I'm not strong enough to ignore it and it senses my fear. x I said it was the last time last time. x x I know the damage even a tiny taste can do. I swear it's the last hit I'll take of you. x I don't wanna be alone. I tell myself your toxic love is like cigarettes or drugs. Addictive, deadly, and damage can only be seen with the eye of time. x I need to find a way out of your faux love web, but I can't see through the fog your kiss leaves. x You're like a cigarette. I'm desperate to stop but at the same time, I don't wanna quit.

Most of us can relate to this kind of toxic love. You make excuses, tell yourself lies but things remain the same and it doesn’t get better, it gets worse. Excellent expression of the wrong kind of love. Congratulations on having this honored with POTW Kore. Blessings xxoo

Kore, this poem puts the "toxic" in intoxicating. Love can be akin to a powerful drug, even when we know it isn't good for us, but we feel powerless to quit. Powerful words... congrats for your POTW recognition.

No comments on potw, very surprising indeed, congratulations Kore, I’m certainly no expert on relationships but toxic ones usually end up pretty bad, must be some enjoyment in it though, even if it’s just equates to a cigarette, thought provoking poem, cheers David
