Toxic Relationship

Umayal Subramaniam posted under PenMuse-60 Poetry on 2024-02-20



Not all mothers love their children Unconditionally, villain ones love with conditions hidden. They use well, they abuse, they emotionally blackmail They condemn, they dissimulate, they make their children fail, They portray themselves as shining knights in a fairy tale. I am intertwined with guilt Can I hide under the quilt When I get a nervous jilt? I can’t find my way To just move away Or few words to say Invisible whip What to do to rip This relationship?
