The taste of toxic


Today I walk away

                   It's not abandoment.

               It's the course you are playinng.

                 If this is love then tell me why this is so toxic.

                   This is not supposed to travel with you everyday. 

                 I'm throwing the towel in. 

           I will not let this destruction run a course on me. 

               I will not let the taste of toxic consume me. 

            I'll love you from a far.

       Because getting too close is far too 

            Toxic

     You were the defination of toxic.

           You took control 

             And never let go

                with a constant deathly grip on my soul....
