Toxic MAG
May 1, 2019
Slippery, slithering snakes
Entangled in a dance.
They snap, they hiss, they sigh, then hug
And it repeats all over again.
The screens don’t protect the texts that sting
Or the tears that fall when the bites don’t end.
Their scales slowly shed into something much worse
But the snakes keep dancing because it used to work.
Tied at the tails,
Tangled together,
Unable to let go.
They want to, but they don’t
Because they don’t know
How.
Screaming, sobbing snakes
Trapped in a toxic dance.
They snap, they hiss, they sigh, then hug
And it repeats all over again.
