Toxic
We met and things seemed perfect.
Every day better than the one before.
You said you loved me.
I was powerless to resist.
What could possibly go wrong?
Day by day, we stayed together.
I was stuck on you like glue.
There was a bond, undeniable,
Stronger than duct tape.
Who knew adhesives could be so toxic
I held on for so long.
I thought I had no choice.
You quickly became my world.
I leaned on you for everything,
While I completely lost my voice.
Fighting, yelling, disappointment, anger.
This became all we knew.
Questions consumed my thoughts,
As I wondered why I needed you.
Now that we’re over,
I can stand.
I’m alright.
Life continues,
Moving on seems possible,
And happiness is now in sight.
I know now I never needed you.
