It’s time for you to leave this bad situationship.

You’re worth more than this unhealthy relationship.

Struggling to let go of these broken pieces of time.

Listen closely. I’ll show you how to leave it behind.

Remember it’s good and bad are a thing of the past.

Nevertheless you don’t need to be deceived by the past.

When it comes knocking on your door of life tell it to go away.

It’s doing more damage to hold on because it wasn’t supposed to stay.

It’s the demon that once was but you don’t have to fear it now.

Tune it out of your brain and focus on the here and now.

Cleanse your soul of this unhealthy bond and abundance will flow more.

I’ll leave you here with a purified heart. Toxa no more.

    I guess, people consider many things before any decision. As I see mothers, stay in toxic relation for kids.
