That One Toxic Relationship

Isabella Santoro

Photography Editor


You’re the spring in my step, leading my feet to new adventures

The fire in my heart, burning away one match at a time

The shadow beside me, watching my every mistake

The chilly river I plunge into, giving me no other choice

You’re the music after the deadly silence, one I thought would never end

The storm I lose myself in, all I wanted was to see the light show

The ice cold lemonade on a hot day, oh so refreshing

The frozen hands that stop my beating heart,

You’re the freshly picked roses in my room, always in full bloom

The dying grass I run across, I can’t help but love the prickle

The butterfly perched on my nose, precious and so mysterious

The angry wolf, howling at night, your anger ever so eerie

You’re the thunderstorm on a hot night, suffocating

The calm moonlight, the cicadas chirping

The wind crushing my lungs, pulverizing me

The rainbow after the rain, a bittersweet silver lining

You destroy me

You build me

You right me

You ruin me
