You're everything that is bad for me
Would resist if I could
Toxicity is easy to see
You make me feel so good
Not immune to exceptional charm
Infected
Love's disease
Knees wobble
Stomach churns
Like it's a stormy sea
Supposed to be secure
Why am I anything but?
Long to sever ties
Too strong to be cut
To and fro memories scamper
Throwing past in my face
Ten thousand pieces of happiness
I am unable to replace
I've seen the darker side of you
Yet also witnessed your best
There's no one else I'd rather cuddle
Or make me feel distressed
Want the heavenly highs
Without proportionate pain
That's just not how it works
Can't have rainbows without rain

You're everything that is bad for me
Would resist if I could
Toxicity is easy to see
You make me feel so good
Not immune to exceptional charm
Infected
Love's disease
Knees wobble
Stomach churns
Like it's a stormy sea
Supposed to be secure
Why am I anything but?
Long to sever ties
Too strong to be cut
To and fro memories scamper
Throwing past in my face
Ten thousand pieces of happiness
I am unable to replace
I've seen the darker side of you
Yet also witnessed your best
There's no one else I'd rather cuddle
Or make me feel distressed
Want the heavenly highs
Without proportionate pain
That's just not how it works
Can't have rainbows without rain
I've learned by now you can't have the amazing breathtaking rush without equivalent heart wrenching agony because life is all about balance.
