TOXIC

I lost myself while loving you,

And for a long while, I imagined just us two.

You made my fairytale heart believe in forever,

And my fickle soul only saw us together.

But then reality slapped me hard in the face,

And bitched me about with anything but grace.

I watched you discard my heart like it was trash,

And every one of my dreams disappeared in a flash.

I once believed in sunshine and set the rainbows in my gloved palm;

But now, I don't even want nothing akin to love's psalm.

The darker days have taught me that only kids dream,

That tomorrow is just an impossibility at the end of today's seam.

So I'd rather not blame karma and burden myself with rue,

Because I know my toxic love broke you too.
