You left me with scars
Deeper than those I’ve given myself
With only your gritty hands.
You took a beautiful act
And stained it with grease
Ruining it for any future lover.
Yet, you used my experience with others
To justify your actions
Because you “love me so much more.”
You abused me like a child;
Expecting loyalty
And punishing me regardless.
But you “loved” me;
You manipulated me
Into thinking it was my fault.
If I stopped letting you explore
The body you felt entitled to
You threatened suicide.
I was poisoned into believing
That you actually cared for me
When you were breaking me slowly every day.
We were best friends
Until my mind caved in on itself
And my body was too broken to love.
I chose my life over yours.
You’re suicide instead of my repeated ****
Yet you’re still breathing.
Parts of me died every time you touched me
And when I felt incapable of continuing
You offered money in return.
Considering my financial situation
You knew I couldn’t say no
So I sold you my body.
Emotionless you left me
Stealing breath from my lungs
And life from my veins.
I gave up
Once paid, I left you
But I’d see you anyways.
On the bus.
In the halls.
That day of the final payment.
An envelope full of money
Left me feeling even more empty
Realizing what I lost for it.
With it you left a note
And your prized possession
The indicators of your impending death.
You said you were sorry.
You said you loved me.
You lied.
While I’m happy you never took your life
I’m dead inside still
Because of you.
You took ownership of my body
Without my permission
And you left it broken and incomplete.
Those pieces of me you stole
I will NEVER get back
And you don’t even know you’re a ******
