Love Poem: My Twisted Mind

My Twisted Mind

I have a twisted mind
My heart is aching
One day soon I hope to find
The peace and serenity that I deserve
My relationship is so twisted
My mind is out of focus
I need to move on with my life
To get myself straight
And as I'm saying this to myself
I find my mind focusing on him
I really do love him
I've loved him for so long
But yet I've begun to realize
He's still singing the same song
Boozing and drugging is his game
And he makes me feel such shame
He also makes me feel guilty
Whenever I decide to leave
He threatens to kill himself
And then I find myself
Running back to a toxic relationship
I need to reframe my mind
In order to be able to find
The happiness that I deserve
I know I have to let him go
And it does hurt me so
To know I wasted so many years of my life
On this toxic relationship
So this time it's for good
I've finally left him alone
No giving him any slack
I have to do this for me
In order to finally be free
