The Way You Loved

A Process to Womanhood

By Chloe A Published 8 years ago • 1 min read

The way you loved me was confusing.

At first, we swayed like the ocean in July;

Gently crashing palms and tongues.

Then the seasons changed and a vicious strength grew inside you

Every touch stung, every word demolished me.

I.

Was.

Drowning.

Lungs bursting with the toxins you violated me with.

But I still loved you.

A heavy hand never stilled the overwhelming devotion I felt after looking to your eyes.

I saw a broken man.

A man seeking answers inside a young girl who never even knew the questions.
