Poisonous Love

Like the wind stroking leaves, causing it falling from the tree.

Like water kissing fire, extinguishing it suddenly.

Like snow touching ground, melting slowly.

Like the moon meeting the sun, covering it completely.

So was your love, poisoning me intentionally.

Trusting blindly, while you consumed my soul cruelly.

My heart surrendering passionately, only to be destroyed fiercely.

My mind embracing loneliness, determining my destiny.

If your hands are cold, even cold water will feel warm to you. Sometimes we ignore the warning signs so much that we think poison is medicine. There is something that everyone in a toxic relationship should understand; the other party is aware that they are harming you and they are doing it knowingly, adding a little more poison to your food every day. And it has nothing to do with you. No, you cannot change them by loving them more. You have to leave them as they are.
This poem describes this pain very well, opposition and awareness... everything is in it. wishing you the best. keep writing. take care!

Yes, you are very right about that. Especially when the other party is a narcissist. Unfortunately we can not see them for who they are.
Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem, appreciate it. Take care!

Indeed, love can be like a poisoned chalice. Sometimes, so enticing but bittersweet.

It can start gently, at first; gradually melting your heart.

But, beware; for what might might follow in love's wake. It can become intoxicating, clouding your senses; and causing you to make bad decisions.

It's hold on your mind and body can become that strong, you end up becoming love's servant; when a guy uses that passion to dominate and take you over? Taking advantage, of your unthinking trust?

Well done, for capturing those aspects of love's dark side; so poetically.

The inexperienced might express surprise, but the mature and enlightened know of love's dark underside...

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, glad you liked it 🙂
"The inexperienced might express surprise, but the mature and enlightened know of love's dark underside..." You are very right about that. Especially people at a very young age are unaware of the dark sides of Love.

[Twilight]

Indeed. Maturity brings wisdom, to those willing to embrace it; from both the darkness & sources of light...

Wow...I love how you compared nature's situation and your feelings! Like, it's so interesting to see how our emotions can be reflected in the world around us. Congrats on your insightful perspective!!

[Şenay🥀]

I think Nature can generate many emotions, such as calmness, joy, and creativity. Our everyday surroundings have a powerful impact on our mood and emotions.

Thank you so much. Happy you liked it :-)

Bittersweet love that brings nothing but pain, leaves you question your own worth and if you are loveable... How it shatters your heart to milion pieces and leaves you doubting yourself... truly beautiful and delicate choice of words. Thank you for sharing!

I welcome you to the Café, Şenay 🌺🐝

Ohhh, it breaks my heart 💔
then, tears it all apart.
'Twas from the start,
I knew we'd part.

There's no doubt, Şenay,
of that which you say.
Hopefully, someday,
pain will fly away.

Until that far off time,
love to me is crime.
Until this rhyme,
turns sublime.

Well, what's to say, Şenay, except the poignant sadness of your tender words gripped me in their sorrow.
Perhaps, I'll read them here tomorrow, and the four winds will blow all hurt away, so happiness can stay.

"Til then, let's dance 'n grin, we'll twirl and spin, and laugh again 'n again! 💃🕺

Sad, but wonderfully moving poetry, Şenay.
Thank you sincerely for sharing! ⁓ Richard🖌️

[Şenay🥀]

No more pain!
İndifference and loneliness sustain.
Fortunate to be free again!

Thank you so much Richard for your wonderful poem.
