I’m addicted to my bad boy
like a druggie snorting on crack.
Bad boy- my succulent junk food.
Toxic love dark as chocolate black,
you do more harm than good.
This attraction is not healthy.
There is a strange dopamine hit,
though I’m discarded like a used toy-
I chase the thrill for him to commit.
Abusive and brazenly rude,
smugness as fat as greasy cheese,
his hurtful bites leave me hungry.
Shame clogs in cholesterol plaque-
infecting ailing arteries;
I’m going to have a heart attack!
Bad boy, why do I crave such ******?

Sometimes we can be in a relationship that can be toxic. Yet we can still be drawn to this relationship that is not psychologically healthy.
