the strength you built for me
Letting you in was like letting the alcohol rinse inside the alcoholic's mouth
Dangerous, toxic, and satisfying
You kept hurting me, taking advantage of the love I had given
I was broken and used up
The love never turned into hatred, but I was exhausted
You were pushing me away and pulling me back in
But I had enough
I learned to love myself way more than I have loved you
You have been the best thing that has ever happened to me
Because I know now how beautiful I can be without someone like you
