Reality Scooped Me

I can't decipher if it was love that caused me to be attracted to him Was it his cologne or after shave Was it his thug like mentality an his gentlemen facade That caused me to be smitten by danger It had nothing to do with him Nothing to do with him I was missing the love for myself I was insecure I was defeated by the dangers of a treacherous fist that caused me to be without sight Because of the lack of love for me How could I forget my well being I only have one temple one body Its never ok to be mistreated by a person who says they love you Thats not true that lie ended when that first strike swiped you You grew numb just like me And cold And cried through the entire relationship until someone or something gave you the Epiphany That you could be free Reality Scooped Me I had to love me before I could be with anybody
