Tze Lin this is my new favorite from you. Your wordplay and metaphors were top notch! You make me want to step up my poetry game. I love the concept and story because I've been in a toxic relationship that was like drinking a delicious poison. I don't write about her much but maybe one day I will. It was a verbally abusive relationship that brought me down and wasn't an asset to my self esteem and dreams. Anyway. Enough about me. Great poem! Also great job at standing firm on your word.
