Toxic relations

I am lonely

You are lonely

I am sad

You are sad

You are mine

I am yours

Let’s be together

And fight away

our demons

Let’s start with butterflies

That turn into wasps

Violently swarming

In the pits of our stomachs

With words we can’t take back

Like poison in our veins

Let’s be together

Despite knowing the truth

That we are not

Made for each other

Merely an echo

Of what love could be

Like mockingjays in our heads

And smoke in our eyes

Causing them to water

Yet here we stand

Rubbing away the burn

And gasping for air

Let’s be together

Despite countless

Loveless nights

With many more to come

Disdain flowing

From our eyes

Let’s fill each other’s voids

If only for tonight

And once they are filled

We will claw our way out

Leaving larger voids

For someone else to fill

Let’s be together

And watch time drift away

Because we are both too afraid

To walk away

Let’s be together

Despite how you make me feel

And how I can’t

Make you feel at all

So why are we together

Have we both become so far gone

That we would rather suffer

Than to die alone

We’re toxic for each other

Yet it’s like we feed

Off of the disease

Love is suffering

In so many ways
