Love's Toxicity

A cycle

By UniquePoetPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It's Happening again

Circle of toxicity

A cycle of simplicity

Yet complicated.

Can i tell you a story?

Once Upon a Time

There was a Princess

Full of Heart and Cheer

Now she's dead

She was wrong

Because of that, she made mistakes.

Today I watched a show

A princess loved someone

Who never loved her back

Yet the man who loved her

Who would do anything for her

Was cast aside, she then died for her love

Why do i cry?

Feel this pain, endure it, smile at it

Why can't I leave, the pieces behind

He didn't care

Wanted me to be his perfect

When all I ever found was me, not perfect me.

Disillusioned

In to thinking one day

He would be contented with me

Not stuck on his fixation of his perfect

A dream he casted on me

I wonder why I stay, When I'm not Happy

I always thought it was me

I could never be,

Getting myself trapped in hopelessness

Eagerly Awaiting

But Waiting In Vain.

Long Days, Cold nights

I am not a princess

very much, at the least human

Is it a Self Destructive Stance?

A Flaw in our Human codes?

Dying for love, in this toxic hold.

Or should I forget it?

Pack my bags and leave?

Run away with my imperfection

Was this ever love?

Was it always ever obsession and earthly lust?

Am I blinded by one sided emotions?

I need to leave.

Love isn't real

No need for a heart that only bleeds

Why do I always stay,

When I clearly should Leave.
