It was a sick cycle. A redundant pattern that I continued to let myself fall into time and time again. At the end of it, each time left me emptier than the previous.
Im not sure why I always fell for the same type of man. The type who saw the love I was capable of giving, awakened it, took it for themselves and always used me up.
I let them convince me of all of their half truths. Even while liatening to them tell me how in love with me they were, the little voice inside me would be screaming to walk away. I never did.
It’s so nice to be loved. To have someone. To believe that anyone would want to make a forever with you.
And when they didnt. It hurt. The fact that it hurt but that I had been through it so many times and knew I would be okay without them hurt even more. I didnt want to be.
And they knew it too. They all knew I was fine alone. Thats why its so easy to leave someone who is so visibly strong to everyone else.
