you were so toxic
and you made me turn into
the kind of person
that i did not want to be
but we were too close
linked by too many chains
and disassociating from you
seemed to cause
more problems
than fixing any at all
but it felt as if your presence
was more a punishment than anything
it felt like you
made the air around you thick with smog
and it was
suffocating
and while it may have happened
drunk and crying on a bathroom floor
i am glad that it happened
i am happy that i finally
cut you off.
-n.c
