I always knew what you were doing. I knew it in my stomach, I knew it in my heart. The lies that didn’t add up. The accusations that didn’t have any basis. The control and mistrust.
I guess I did not think it would happen to me. And then I didn’t think it would happen again. And not again (again). But it did. Rather, you did. A leopard never changes his spots the first girl told me. Leave him.
But I had given you so much – too much – to walk away now. So I stayed, telling myself that things would get better. Because I would be better. All the while knowing that nothing was enough. My time, my mind, my money, my words, my energy. Nothing of it was every going to be enough for you. You took and you took. From me, from her, from her, from her. The black hole in your chest sucking up all of our love, nothing could escape.
I know it wasn’t me. It was all you. I don’t understand why. And that’s what bugs me the most.

Urgh, why must we women be the givers! It annoys me so much that all we seem to do is give, especially when deep down we know they will never give back. I suppose it balances out that they no longer get to take anymore, but the self worth we lose in the process is painful..x
