TOXIC CHOKE January 20, 2014 by vitalsparkca 0 I gave you all of me, believing I could trust You became my everything, my love, my life, my lust Part of every breath, until I was gasping for air Smothering in the toxins we had come to share Words of amend and change became trade Trust severed by promises believed when made A cycle of apology leading back to blissful entwine Boundaries reset with a pencil drawn line A line soon crossed and justified in push-pull exchange ExhaustIon and defeat where patterns never change Dysfunction by intention fed Defensive doubt, resistance, dread Trying to grasp at a dream made of smoke Left crawling on the floor, attempt not to choke The exit blurred and not well marked Memories circling like a shark Confused with times of playful content Twisted with damage, yet appearing unbent As the creases deepen with each relapse or retreat No more hand holding or false plans to repeat The cycle is broken with final separation Walking away, no compensation Except to rebuild damage to spirit Trust, hope and faith reopen to clear it Share this:FacebookTwitterEmailPrintLinkedInRedditPinterestMoreTumblrLike this:Like Loading...
