Him.

Half of the time he reminded me that things can get better.
He reminded me how to smile
I felt like I was worth while..

But when he changed
He reminded me that i was nothing.
"He doesn't love you" he talked of himself.
He reminded me of the abusive relationship he helped me get out of.

He gave me his jacket,
And I can still feel the strings
get caught around my throat
 when I misbehave.

What does a good relationship look like..
Take my parents for example...

I grew up seeing drug use
Domestic abuse.
Yelling, bleeding
Keep hiding the marks
Keep it quiet.

So tell me.
Should it be normal for a girl
To tense up when you try to hold her,
To kiss her,
Love her.
I did around him.
He liked it.
