“What a shame that we always seem to get in a fight”

You and Johnnie have been together for 2 years now. You were like porcupines. Porcupines sought to protect themselves from the winter in the warmth of others' company. But as the bodies approached, the thorns caused wounds. Your toxic relationship has a constant cycle of fights, make-up, fights, make-ups until it becomes a daily routine. You feel like you can’t leave each other even if you guys know that you’re toxic to each other.
