One
When you say you love her, and you don't mean it
She'll believe you
Her mouth will stretch into a smile at the sound of your words
Grasping your hand and showering you with kisses
Completely head over heels for you
Drinking in every word you whisper to her that night
So she'll be drunk on them even when she wakes up tomorrow
Two
When you cheat on her and beg for forgiveness
She'll forgive you
Though she will hunt down the girl you temporarily loved
Analyze every inch of her perfect diamond face
Envy the body she wishes she had
Think of the friends and life she would trade her own for
And wonder why you chose her over what you already had
Three
When he pulls you away from friends and family
She'll follow you
Blindingly, leaving everyone who you said didn't love her
Making you her only friend and safe spot to depend on
And when her best friend tries to call and text her
You'll take her phone just to delete and block their number forever
Because who could love her as much as you do?
Four
When you drink to much and beg her for sex
She'll welcome it
As reluctant as it may seem
She will let your poison covered lips crawl up her neck
Your rough hands slide up her leg and under her skirt
Her body will stiffen and her breathing will catch
But she will undress herself for you
With hopes of an hour long moment of where you and her are one
Five
When you hit her, and say you don't mean it
She'll run back to you
Telling you that it was alright
That she deserved what you did to her
And that it was somehow her fault
You'll watch her as she wipes away her bloody cuts and your false tears
And you will hold her loosely in your arms
Because you cannot stand to hold onto such a broken girl
Even when she has held onto you for too long
When you decide to date a desperate teenage girl
Know that you are purchasing a full package
With a stamp reading 'handle with care'
And if you were to drop the fragile glass inside
It will break and look disfigured
But it will try it's hardest to shine back at you
But it will reflect the hateful glaze you have caste upon it
