Toxic Love

A common story

I would've done anything for our connection

But I made some self-reflection

Even though the memories remain

I continued my path and trained my brain

I still struggle to get you out of my head

Sometimes I wish you were in my bed

Then I remember all the hurt and confusion

I remind myself it's all an illusion

You come around every now and then

From 1-5 I give you a ten

You try to get my attention

I know your intention

But I can't let your charm win me over

I will no longer be treated like a leftover

You were a lesson in my life

I remember when I dreamed of being your wife

I will keep resisting you until I no longer care

Your memory will vanish into thin air

Maybe it's true that time heals it all

Or maybe in 10 years I'll be waiting for a call

But what I do know is that I'm leaving

I don't care if my heart is grieving

heartbreak
