Why

Why do I feel like this? Why is he making me feel like I am worthless? Am I really that bad of a girlfriend? I must me for him to be acting this way. Would he even care if I died tonight? Probably not. He wouldn't care that we spend our last hours together, With him yelling at me, telling me everything that was wrong with me, How selfish I am. He has reduced me to feeling like nothing. I feel abused. But I can never say that. He'll just get mad again. He'll yell more and more until I put out. He says that he feels used, But I am the one that is used. He's reducing me to where I am resolving to do anything For him to take me back For him to be happy. I am still single, And he doesn't want to take me back, No matter how many times he says the opposite. I am nothing. Nothing I am. Nemo is my name. Nemo is my existence. Now, I live for nothing. I am but an empty shell. A zombie shuffling through life, living without reacting breathing without air eating without sustenance fucking without love. I will put out not because of love, But because it makes him happy, because he'll stop yelling. Maybe I am just over-reacting. If I just hadn't made that one mistake well over a year ago.. No. I can never forget that. He won't let me That is something that I can never live down. No matter how hard I try, It will never go away. He isn’t good for me, I decide. No, a part says. Stay. No. I can’t do that. I’ll get hurt. Again. I want to run To flee To fly and never come back. I want to be free. I want to feel loved. To love without being expected to put out. He says I’m selfish. I try to say I want to wait. He doesn’t understand. Promises to myself are wanting to be broken. not by me but by him. I want the liberation. The liberation of love. The liberation of respect. The respect that I deserve. Is that so much to ask?
