She loved him more than she loved herself

he controlled her, and he knew it

she cried because of him each night

he laughed at her misery, for it amused him

she was addicted, and he was her drug

he was having fun, using her to ignore his pain

she was suffocating under his harsh grasp

he was just getting started, barely gripping her

she knew he would only hurt her, but she stayed

he didn't know why he loved hurting her; he just did

she smelled his radiating toxicity, and still, she denied it

he knew he was hurting her, but it was his only comfort

she knew there was someone else far better for her

he knew she didn't need him, but he liked the thought

she wanted him and no one else; that is why she is in pain

he wanted his own happiness; that is why he is using her

she would cut herself a thousand times if only he'd love her

he would leave her again and again if only he found happiness 

she loved him so much her eyes blurred his flaws

he was ready to leave her whenever he found someone who gave him more joy; he was always ready to break her

she was ready to face the pain of seeing him with someone else; she always knew she wasn't enough for him
