Resilient stare
**Toxic Love**
In the glowing silhouette of the bottle, a love's cruel dance,
She stood, the last sentinel, lost in his trance.
His laughter, a mask, veiling storms deep inside,
A heart drowning slowly, where sorrow can’t hide.
He drinks to forget, but his anger takes flight,
And the love that she offers turns into a fight.
Each word like a dagger, each glance a cold stare,
She nurtures his demons, yet breathes in despair.
Once vibrant and whole, now a shell of her soul,
Submissive to darkness, losing sight of her goal.
Narcissistic whispers, they wound and confound,
Her worth slowly fading, in silence unbound.
In moments of distance, she gathers her strength,
Realizing the trauma, the toll and the length.
Emotionally battered, she seeks to escape,
But the pull of his sorrow reshapes her fate's shape.
He revels in chaos, then craves her embrace,
Loneliness haunts him, yet love’s not a race.
His cries pierce the night, “I don’t want to be,
A shadow of sorrow, just longing for me.”
Each cycle a tempest, each promise a snare,
With every return, she feels heavier air.
Isolated and broken, friends fade from her sight,
In the silence of echoes, her heart takes its flight.
Melancholy’s laughter, a friend by her side,
Yet prayer is her anchor, her faith as her guide.
She wishes for rescue, for someone to see,
That only she’s worthy, only she can be free.
So she gathers her pieces, though scattered and torn,
In the depths of the night, a new hero is born.
For love’s not a prison, nor chains made of gold,
But the strength to keep walking, to be brave and bold.
With courage ignited, she steps into light,
Though the echoes may linger, she’ll fight through the night.
No longer a vessel for his pain to confine,
In the ashes of heartache, her spirit will shine.
