Letter to Him

To Him,

 

Shared three years of happiness, love and respect.

Most cherished three years of my life.

I thought.

 

I tried doing everything right.

I thought I was making you happy, nothing short.

I thought I was the perfect girlfriend.

 

Our relationship, so mature, so pure.

Uncomparable to most other relationships.

I though you were the one.

That one day I would take your last name.

That one day we would start a family of our own.

 

I thought wrong.

Three years of awe, faded fast.

 

Everything I did made you mad.

You became controlling.

I was no longer good enough.

I became unfit for the mold you wanted.

You would not give me up though.

 

I deteriorated.

Too weak to leave you.

I loved you.

 

 

Daily routine of criticism.

Mean words and verbal beatings.

You pushed all faults on me.

I agreed, you became happy.

 

I quickly found what made you smile.

Changing myself, becoming who you wanted.

That is what you wanted and that's what I gave you.

I began to fit the certain criteria you had set.

 

 

 

I was no longer me.

I was this person a guy created.

Without self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love.

I was nothing.

 

 

I wanted you to love me.

While doing that I forgot to love myself.

 

 

You left.

It was a double edge sword.

I thought my problems left.

They just began.

 

I realized so much.

How broken of a girl I was.

I realized I hated myself,

everything about me.

 

My biggest mistake?

Changing myself for you.

You did not love me for me.

After us, neither did I.

 

Love,

The girl that had to change,

to become healthy again.

However this time,

it was because she wanted to.
