I ache for you. No you don’t deserve the things he(she) puts you through but you love him–right? And so I sit on the sidelines watching your facade of happiness knowing you’re dying on the inside. Watching you play out the monotonous cycle of telling yourself, he’s gone do better this time.
There’s no sense in wasting my words. No sense in telling you that he’s the same old dog that attracted you to him in the first place. You got just what you wanted, right–that toxic love.
Break The Cycle…
But this isn’t about him. He’s the leopard whose spots does not change. And you–you’re the cat with nine lives.
But here’s my question. How many times must you die inside before you acknowledge the truth? You see the truth is not about him needing to change. No, my friend, in fact the truth is really all about you.
When will you woman (man) up and do what your soul screams at you is the right thing to do? When will you let go of this toxic love? When will you stop punishing yourself? When will you learn to love you? Your peace of mind is your responsibility. It’s all up to you.
Growth Matters…
You see at the end of the day, it’s not my words that really matter. Life has already proven that. And so, I sit in silence, listening to you complain one day and be so in love the next. I’ve exhausted my words. I can neither agree nor disagree. To do so would make me just as foolish as you and I’m no fool–anymore.
I’ve been down that path. Wrote a melody with my pain and then the same melody became my healing balm. I rose above self-hatred and learned to love the phenomenal person that God created me to be. And you–you will to. In due time.
I ache for you. Come out from amongst it and be whole again. Real love is waiting…
Signed,
I am delivered
Have you ever been in a toxic relationship or supported someone who has? What was most difficult about the experience? What did you learn?
