How to know you are in a toxic relationship
if he makes you wait around for his friends
he does not love you
if he tells you you can't be jealous when other girls are around him
he does not love you
if he uses your emotions to his advantage
he does not love you
if he only acknowledges you for your body
he does not love you
if the sound of his voice makes you quiver in fear
he does not love you
if he tells you "the bruises claim you as mine"
he does not love you
if he says you're not good enough
not strong enough
or not worthy of his "love"
he does not love you
And if after all of that you tell yourself you need him
that you can't live without him
or that he was the best thing that ever happened to you
you do not love yourself
