When I saw the way the stars shined in your eyes

I thought it was love

Nor the heavens could reach the twinkle in your eye

The way you pronounce my name with a

Sigh

For only time would tell

I was only Sixteen and you were the cause of my hell

I screamed, begged, and cried

Walked barefoot to your house

Yet that was not enough because you did not love me

You did not love the way I smiled at you or ran my fingers through your hair

I let you become the death of me

At 2am crying praying to God to end my life

But why?

Because somehow I let the manipulations of what

I thought love was destroy me to pieces

Only to realize that abuse and being used is not real love

Real love is being able to laugh and dance around half naked

Looking in the mirror because you adore your flaws

Because I love you as
I

Scream

             To

                  The

                         Top

                              Of

My

                                 Lungs

As I stare at myself at 2am thanking God I never ended my life.
