Ex-Boyfriend
Dear ex boyfriend,
Even though you were twenty going on twenty one, you really put the Boy in boyfriend. I should have known nothing was ever going to work after the day you told me that I was burden to your life, But I was in love with you despite you only being in love with my body. When you told me my eyes were the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, I didn't think you'd forget their color once you got my clothes off. I should have known the day you talked to my mom and told her you owned me, I should have known the moment she brought up you starting a conversation with "She's shown me.." You told me I needed to learn to love my body, I never knew while you'd help me learn to love my body in the end I'd hate it even more than before. I should have known, I really really should have known. But all I knew is that I loved you more than I ever loved myself and before I learnt to love myself I learnt to forgive you over and over again only for you to make The same mistakes countless more times. You told me once my body was a temple and that it was a beautiful thing. I didn't know that temples could be so damn destroyed, but you taught me that they could be.
