Toxic attachment patterns can make you feel like you’re fighting for love instead of living in it. You tell yourself this is passion, intensity, or soul connection — but deep down, it’s chaos dressed up as romance. Every text feels like a test. Every silence feels like a punishment. You’re not in love. You’re in a battlefield where your heart is both the weapon and the casualty.
The War Zone You Call Love
You wait for the text that never comes.
You rehearse conversations in your head.
You stalk their moods like you’re on patrol.
And when they finally throw you crumbs of affection,
you eat like you’ve been starving for years.
The highs feel like salvation.
The lows feel like dying.
And still… you stay.
Why You Keep Going Back
Because love trauma trained you to confuse instability with intimacy.
Because drama feels more real than peace.
Because somewhere deep down, you’re chasing a parent who never showed up —
hoping this time, someone will.
The Devil’s Real Trick
The Devil doesn’t need to break your heart.
He just needs you to keep hoping.
Hoping they’ll change.
Hoping they’ll finally love you right.
Hoping the next round won’t end in ruins.
Hope is the leash. And you’re the one holding it tight.
The Devil Wants You To…
Wait for their mood to change.
Prove you’re worth staying for.
Call it “passion” when it’s really fear.
Ignore the fact that love should feel like home, not a battlefield.
Because if you believe love is war,
you’ll never know what peace feels like.
