All before you

I grew up with a mother who didn't love me

I grew up with parents who didn't know how to grow up

At a young age, I was molested by a man I trusted

I was never able to trust again

At the age of 13, I fell in love with a boy

He used me and abused me for 2 and a half years

I never recovered from him

At the age of 16, I met you

I tried to give you everything that I had

I tried to love you unconditionally

I tried to trust you with everything I could

but because of every man

every woman before you

 I cannot give you my all

they ruined every chance I gave and now I can't give anymore.
