*something i just…muddled together a couple years ago. had a friend that…was in a shitty relationship…never wanted to see the truth about it, and…this is what i came up with when i tried to repeat what she was telling me*

—————————–

you belittle me
you treat me like a child
you make it my fault
you don’t respect my thoughts
you don’t respect my feelings
you take for granted i’ll fuck you
you make me believe i’ll never do better
you apologize for the way i react, and never for your actions
you haven’t made me a priority
you make me cry
you cause me pain
you cause me to question my own validity
you cause me to question my own value
you tell me everything will be fine and nothing ever changes
you want someone to stand AT your side and not BY your side
you never show emotion
you can’t say you love me
you never speak of the future
you expect me to stay when i really just want to go
you don’t compliment me when i’m pretty
you don’t hug me when i’m sad
you don’t support me when i need you the most
you don’t hold my hand in public
you won’t chase me if i leave
you won’t let me live my own life without your permission
you make me believe that this is the way things are
you make me believe that men are simply like this
you make me believe that i am happy….
