Ti Amo Tossicamente

Ti Amo Tossicamente

 

I love you poisonously

You’re a drug

Not because you’re addictive

But because I can only have a dose

I can only take so much

You hate me but you love me

Need me because you want me.

 

Our love is painful pleasure

What we used to call love and hope

Are now simply lust and desire

If sex was a remedy

Then I am near perfectly healthy

If talking about feelings was rich

Then I am the poorest man in the world when I am with you.

 

I used to call you (all the time)

Just like my brain calls upon my heart to continue beating

But you no longer pick up

My heart to longer picks up its pace when it sees you

It no longer pumps at all.

 

I don’t regret choosing you

I regret you choosing me

The games you played

Eradicated love from my heart and soul

Only to be replaced with ice

Turned it into a blistering tundra

And I’ve broken through the cold before

But I don’t think I can try to break this mold anymore.

Ti amo tossicamente.

Amazing work!! You've described everything so beautifully. I loved the "If talking about feelings was rich
Then I am the poorest man in the world when I am with you." part.
Keep writing, you're doing great :)

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the poem. That line is easily one of my brighter moments and I enjoy it as well. Thanks for the support and feel free to read more of my work; I'll return the favor. Much appreciated!
