The door is right there
If you were shown the parts of you that were changing, would you stay?
If you could witness the metamorphosis, observe the alterations, would you remain?
If you could feel its decay, hear its danger, smell its ruin, would you escape?
When someone is toxic, the signs are often ignored, with partners blinded by what they believe is love.
They would choose to remain and hope that things would get better, or proclaim that it was the 'norm', no matter how brutalised their minds became.
Though, once you leave, the clarity will thank you and hindsight will teach you to never go down that path again.
Yes, the leaving part takes strength, it is demanding, sometimes total lives are upheaved and shattered into ruins, but you cannot rebuild without destruction.
