Because I love you

#Because I love you

Love is defined as a feeling

You say if I love you

I'll give up my body and my life for you

I'll give you anything

Because I love you I can beat you

That's not love

That is abuse mental, physical, emotional

I have the brusies to show

But if I tell anyone you will hurt me,

I am entitled to show my body to you only

I am scared to leave

Yet i'm scared to come home

I can't tell anyone

Not like they'd believe me

I now think this is love

The words you say everytime this happens

" beat me, I love you, I'm sorry"

But to me a healthy relationship is....

Asking how I am, 

Understanding i'm fragile,

Communication.

we need trust not just me and not just you but both of us

You've brainwashed everyone including me

I'm broken

I cannot be fixed

Love should be honest

Caring

Gentle,

Not anger, brusies

But the sad truth is 

We accept the love we think we deserve
