Trapped in a coffin, breathing but bound, A love so toxic, its whispers profound.
The walls close in, suffocating tight, Every glance from him, a blinding light.

The pain is constant, a wound never healed, Yet the thought of leaving feels unreal.
For in this prison, a twisted comfort stays, A strange familiarity in the darkest of days.

I break, I heal, I rise, then fall, But each time, he calls, I return to it all.
Like a puppet, my strings pulled with ease, Back in the coffin, suffocating with pleas.

Each time I leave, the wounds start to fade, But he comes with words, sweetly laid.
A manipulative dance, I’m drawn back in, To a cycle of lies, where do I begin?

I gave him the version he never had, Every piece of me, broken and sad.
Yet, when I try to escape, to be whole, He drags me back, swallowing my soul.

Each return is a death, another goodbye, I die a thousand times just to keep love alive.
I **** the parts of me that want to be free, All for a love that was never meant to be.

I don't know how many times I'll fall, How many times I'll answer his call.
I fear the damages, the healing I must face, But I fear his absence even more in this place.
This poem is a reflection of the internal struggle that comes with being in a toxic relationshipβ€”where love feels suffocating, yet the grip it holds is hard to escape. It speaks to the manipulation, the cycle of pain, and the twisted familiarity that draws you back in, no matter how much you try to break free. This isn't just a poem; it's a piece of me, drawn from personal experience. For anyone who has ever felt trapped in a love that hurts more than it heals, I see you. I hope you find strength in breaking free from these chains.
