Titanium (a poem)
a poem about a toxic relationship
I wish our relationship was more perfect
I hate how it’s become complex
You’re the one that owns my heart
And the one that breaks it sometimes
I don’t tell you everything
And I hate that I do that
But when I tell you things
You react in the worst way
Sometimes, I dream of leaving you
I’d think my breaths would be lighter
My heart’s been broken too many times
But I fear it couldn’t be repaired if you were gone
Even though I might hate you at times, my love for you will triumph it all
I can get used to what you say–you made my skin titanium
I know you always mean well
You’re not immortal anyways
