"Because I believed you"

I love you The words he used to manipulateThe words he used to hurtThe words he used to give me nightmares   I was told he loved meI was told he would protect meI was told this then he changed  I was told It was okI was told not to tell anyoneI was told if I said a word his life was goneI was told he didn't mean to   I later told I later Got helpI later recovered from his manipulationI later learned real love  Love doesn't have to come from a partnerLove comes in many waysLove also comes from family and friends Love should NEVER hurtLove should be ok A boy destroyed meA boy also taught me people lie A boy taught me to hate everything about me  What is a healthy relationship?I never knew...until I met herShe was beautiful She taught me to love myselfShe was me  a healthy relationship starts with yourself
