me during sex: can we stop for a sec i need a glass of water
me: comes back 20 minutes later with a Slurpee
(via theshitneyspears)
he tells me that i should not cross the line.
the bridge he built between the two of us
is made from weak and old sweet nothings that
don’t mean much anymore. he calls our love
a burning fire but all i see is a
cold cell for him to hold me in. i dare
not try to disobey or he will cut
my hair and take away my makeup. my
beauty is what he fears–someday i might
examine my own worth and sense of self.
i used to be a smart girl with big dreams
until i met who i thought was the man
i had always been searching for. the pain
comes from the way he tells me to make love.
i tell him he is the only one. He
tells himself he has got a hold of me.
i tell myself he just wants the best for
me. but i always wake up in the night
disgusted with his face. i think it is
my body’s way of telling me to leave.
