I think,
we were young.
We must have been foolish
thinking we were in love.
Truthfully,
I tell myself that sometimes
because the psychological abuse card
is still used in my every day life.
Men meet me and know,
someone has hurt me.
Unable to speak for us,
but I loved.
I loved so much that I gave
everything up and myself away.
I was manipulated into thinking
there was nowhere,
and no one else for me.
We were young.
Fools to think,
we were in love.
