Him

So this hasn't been edited really yet so it might be rough. This is based on my experience with a boyfriend. I have a therapist now and I resently told her about it. I mentioned how I had a fear of physical relationships, and he came up. She said he sounded abusive, I had never thought of him like that because he didn't hit me. But it fit. So this is about that. I hope you give it some love it's kinda personal.

Sometimes when

it's late at night

When all is quiet

I think about him


His words

So sweet and soft

They melted me

Too weak to leave


His actions

Attentive and attached

Always close by

Me too weak to leave


Sometimes when

I start to cry

When my thoughts run rampant

I read our old messages


His texts

Sugared and thick

Often and constant

Me too scared to reply


His reminders

Controlling and angry

Filled with fire

Me too scared to reply


Sometimes when

I hear certain words

love or sex

I remember him


His ways

Of saying I love you

Of saying you are mine

Me too weak to argue


His touches

When I sleep

When I try to stop

Me too weak to argue


Sometimes when

I see my arm

And the scars

I travel back to him


Him knowing

And never helping

Instead blaming

Me too scared to fight


Him yelling

The way it moved

It made my knife move

Me too scared to fight


Sometimes when

We pass

Him ignoring

I feel for him


His tears

That night when

I told him I'm done

Me too strong to continue


His hatred

So strong and stifling

I'm to blame for being

Too strong to continue
