Toxic Love
I loved the way you pretended
I worshiped all of your lies
Even when we ended
I ignored the red flags inviting you back inside
You betrayed me and dismayed me
I begged and pleaded despite the pain
Even though I know you played me
I kept immersing myself in your pain
I let the toxicity engulf me
I played with fire and begged to be burned
I invited your poison to stuff me
And I wish I could say lived and learned
Sometimes when your used to toxic you don’t know how love should feel,
Although your love was exhausting I knew a feeling was finally real..
