Toxic Love
From the beginning, you knew it wasn’t fate
We were more like enemies than meant to be
Brought into this relationship to please our families
Maybe it was just me that wanted to be free
We were night and day, complete opposites
You wanted your way always
Never considered my views
It’s a shame you couldn’t see the truth, it was all about you
We don’t talk about anything
Lust in your eyes
All you cared about was your gain
I let it ride a little longer
Thought you’d love me forever
Actions speak louder than words
I should have seen it
It was so clear
All that existed was your greed
And at the end
I lost the energy to fight
For something that wasn’t real
Before I reached that breaking point
Goodbye was all I could say
