Toxic Chemistry

Free Verse

The cesspool around me
gathers around,
pulling me in a tight embrace

Disguised as love,
this toxic chemistry
portends doom, with its hollow echoes

Emotional chess
Dominance, chicanery, and manipulation
One should’ve been wiser by now

Dirty realism, grunge lit, creative confessions, spec fic, and assorted literary atrocities.
