Toxic
A love so toxic it could only end hopelessly
I wanted her as mine and mine alone
Yet that she could never be
We pushed and thrust one another
Until we both bowed to the threat of cracking
I wanted more, more than she could give
She demanded less, less than I had to offer
And when she gave me no further slack as I pulled
I turned that pull into a push, and I shoved hard
Hard enough that she cracked
The splatter fills my mind time and time again
I put her back together with my tainted hands
She is as fixed as she can be
However never to be good as new again
I have left scars all over her shattered heart
That was the one part I can never mend
That exquisite face branded by the pain I left
Until another can come along and ease her
I wanted her as mine, and mine alone
Yet that she will never be
