It wasn’t toxic you told me
none of it was toxic
and maybe it wasn‘t
but why did you take 2 weeks to plan it and still pretend whilst you did that
it wasn’t toxic whilst you told everyone before me
it wasn’t toxic when you couldn’t sit next to me at work
it wasn’t toxic when you couldn’t look me in the eye when I said I loved you
it wasn’t toxic when you couldn’t say you loved me.
it wasn’t toxic when you couldn’t wriggle out of a hug fast enough because you’d already desensitised to it
it wasn’t fucking toxic when you took a week to plan when to do it.
It wasn’t toxic when you laughed because I broke my hand over it
It wasn’t toxic.
you promised it wasn’t toxic.

- Comment from author about the poem: I put so much time into her and for almost 2 years we were the “perfect couple” but that wasn’t enough was it. And it was when I was back in my depths of depression you dumped me. Like I hadnt spent 6 months when you got committed to a clinic and the subsequent 4 months nursing you and loving you the only way I knew how. With my whole heart. But when I start to struggle that’s when you wanted out. Why did I even bother. All it left is heart ache and a distrust to ever love again. All it left was broken bones and another broken man
