"Because I believed you"

November 4, 2017

I love you

The words he used to manipulate

The words he used to hurt

The words he used to give me nightmares

I was told he loved me

I was told he would protect me

I was told this then he changed

I was told It was ok

I was told not to tell anyone

I was told if I said a word his life was gone

I was told he didn't mean to

I later told

I later Got help

I later recovered from his manipulation

I later learned real love

Love doesn't have to come from a partner

Love comes in many ways

Love also comes from family and friends

Love should NEVER hurt

Love should be ok

A boy destroyed me

A boy also taught me people lie

A boy taught me to hate everything about me

What is a healthy relationship?

I never knew...until I met her

She was beautiful

She taught me to love myself

She was me

a healthy relationship starts with yourself
