"It's Fine" I tell myself
For all those who've been in a toxic relationship
"If we weren't at school, I'd leave hickeys all over you" she'd say
"You can't wear tank tops outside, it's too revealing" she'd say
"Stop sending me pictures, you're making me horny" she'd say
"I just masturbated to you" she'd say
"What would you do if I fingered you" she'd say
"If you wear that Ima finger you in the school bathroom" she'd say
I felt like what she was saying was wrong,
I really did
but I just never said anything.
I was only 14
but I thought that's what it meant to be loved.
She didn't even love me.
I thought that's just how relationships worked
and that it was fine.
I thought if I just stayed silent nothing would happen.
I didn't want her to do the things she'd say
but I wouldn't tell her that,
I didn't want to make her mad.
I didn't want to lose her.
I thought I loved her,
but I just loved the feeling of being seen
and thinking someone loved me.
