Sometimes we can't help who we love, even if they do nothing but hurt us. Write about it, whether it be romantic, familial, or friendship. Let's stay away from graphic abuse - think about the psychological side of toxic love.

Coursing smoothly through my veins
My friends don't like you, family too
Nicknamed you 'addiction'
To me you're friend, soon to be family

Ever there to fight the pain
Had I any companion that wasn't you?
Circus freak, my diversion
Regardless, with you I was happy

All your troubles are worth the gain
Trembles and aches I wish you didn't do
Still I'm no less in obsession
You are a slippery path, I'm savy

As my consciousness I regain
'Overdosed yet alive' the walls echo
Excess of you the source of my concussion
I realise, love this toxic is for the crazy
