I am adrift rudderless
In the toxic ocean of your love
Try as much, I can’t swim away
But staying afloat debilitates me
The salinity of your attention
Is eroding away my self
I sold my soul to the devil
To be with you
But your heart is like an atoll
I am unable reach the lagoon
I cannot blame anyone for the commotion in my life
You are my destructive compulsion
I cling to you like a limpet
I live for you, I die with you.
WOW.. ππΌππ

I think most of us have experienced toxic love at one time or another, although I think toxic fear is actually worse.

Anything toxic is bad. Toxic fear can be paralyzing so maybe it seems worse. Thanks for reading. I appreciate your stopping by.

You’re welcome. I once heard a psychologist say that anger is a secondary emotion, and that you have to experience pain, threat, or fear first. I have a feeling a lot of the anger we see in the world today is fueled by terrified human beings.

Yes, that does seem to be the case. Fear can make people do unthinkable things.

Great use of figurative language and the sentiment hits home. Many of us are unable to steer our way out of a toxic relationship. Eventually we either dilute and conquer the toxins or we are consumed by them. usually, it’s the latter. Great writing!
