A Poem For People in Toxic Relationships

Fahim Chughtai

It can be tough to move on
from a love that’s wrong,
to learn to love again,
to let go of the pain.

But when you find someone new,
who treats you right and true,
it’s a chance to heal and grow,
together, to let love flow.

It may feel strange at first,
to be in a healthy relationship,
to not walk on eggshells,
or fear the other’s grip.

But with time and patience,
and a willingness to learn,
you’ll find your way together,
and love will start to burn.

You may make mistakes,
and that’s okay, my friend,
just communicate and listen,
and you’ll make amends.

So don’t be too hard on yourself,
or apologize for trying,
in this healthy relationship,
you’ll learn to love without crying.

Thanks.
