#toxic poems on Hello Poetry

Katie Stenner Feb 19

i don't often say i love you
but when i do its easy
but when you told me to say those three words back
i just couldn't do it

i didn't realize how much this friendship has declined.

Consequences

They say sorry needs change
maybe that´s why you never apologize

Too **** proud to admit it so you blame it on my wicked mind

him

when i talk back, do you feel the rage
a storm inside, a tightening cage?
would you strike, would you scream, let the fury begin?
or is that your father, staring within?

i see the shadow in your gaze,
a past that lingers, sharp as blades.
the echo of him, cold and grim
tell me, love… are you just like him?

Butterfly and Rose

Butterfly and Rose
Out of his cocoon,
Tiptoed a butterfly.
Young and naive,
He soared through the sky.

Up and down
And through the canopies
He flew towards
The most beautiful sight.

Caught up in the charms
Of Rose’s soft petals,
He rushed to touch her,
Unaware of her thorns.

But alas,
There wasn’t a way
That she could tell him
About her deadly thorns.

She watched as he fell
Into the loams,
The ephemeral love in his arms,
Inevitably to wither away.

Ruin Me

bite my lip
till it bleeds.

love me carelessly

but please

just 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞
the mess

𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭
𝐲𝐨𝐮
𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞.

fffffuck you

why would you do that?
you know im a lesbian
you know I think 7th grade is too young for dating
so why would you tell my sisters I have a boyfriend?
because you know they'd buy it?
even though they know too
because you know they'd tell my parents?
because you know i'd get in trouble with my parents?
EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW TOO

God... why are we still friends?

You all remember Skye?? yeah, she told my sisters I have a boyfriend. Not only that she told them that it was some kid I've never talked to in my life. so now I gotta deal with that

sweetness

the sweet taste over my tongue
drip from my mouth
yet i long for more
intoxicating me
blurring my judgement
tasting so sweet
yet so bitter at the back of my throat

sweetie
