So This Is Love?
November 8, 2022
TW // rape, child abuse
You said I was beautiful.
When I didn’t know
what you were gonna do…
Why did you say
“I love you,”
When you knew it wasn’t true
Whenever you touched me,
It didn’t feel right,
But I didn’t fight.
I was only 12
Only 12
So innocent and lonely.
I thought that all I needed was you.
But I should’ve knew,
Should’ve knew.
What you would do.
Arms pinned down,
By your hands.
Legs forced apart.
I cried for it to end!
You just grinned,
And said no.
Years later,
I still can’t be touched
Without stuttering in fear.
You hurt me.
But I still ask,
Was that love?

This is a true story of the darkest moment in my life. For anyone reading this please remember consent is important. Never let someone take advantage of you like he did to me because that wasn’t love, only abuse.
