Toxicity

Trusted with this physical being

Responsibility to protect the mind, and the body

Hearts connected, through vulnerability

To the touch, pleasured

The voice, pleasing

The quiet, all words are heard

Actions, speak loyalty

Treatment brings clarity

Dominance provokes security

Family intermingled

Emotions intertwined in a dream

The goal, to live a lavish life

A home, a husband, a child, and a wife

In this fairytale, good should always prevail

In seconds, all could tarnish

By gesture, or by word

Blatant acts of disrespect, cognizant to the hurt

Puncturing the lung of the relationship, the familiarity

Real Words spoken, unleashing inner demons

Inside the soul, still lay the feeling of incompatibility

A future still harnessed on judgment, mistakes from the past

Souls eager to demand perfectionism

The demand to be a perfect mate

To reciprocate a flawless equal

Unwilling to look inside the conscience

Here, all humans are imperfect

Purity in the good and the ugly

Be reminded, to look into the eyes

Fall the same way, when I love you was muttered, the first time

Lean into each other’s body, create a wall of strength

Let the better days prevail

Learn from the days of emotional turmoil

Allow laughter to be the light

Be reminiscent to the memories

Never forget where love once began

Inside the soul, lays a best friend

A being to always give unconditional love

Appreciate the journey

Because here…

In Marriage

In sickness, and in health

We take the good, the bad, and the Ugly

For the best times, and the bad times
