When You Loved Me
July 8, 2016
You were my first
What a grand feeling it was
You made me feel like I was on top of the world
You praised me, cared for me, loved me
You made me feel like I mattered
You said I was beautiful
You put meaning into my life
So what happened?
Why the beating, why the curse words, why the sexual abuse?
You were my first
I felt worthless
You punched me, kicked me, raped me
You made me feel useless, helpless, unwanted
You said I was a waste
You, yes you, ruined my life and for that I'll never be the same when you did love me
You were my first
You were my last

It is awful what happens with those sweet men and women who are in abusive relationships. Love is better when you both are treated with love, kindness, respect, and all the goodness.
