I stumbled across this poem today and it really hit home.  What a great reminder that we are stronger than we think and can bounce back from the devastation these relationships have caused!

"He fed you sweet sweet words like honey,

Their taste like sugar on his tongue,

No one had ever been so kind,

So to every word you clung.

He told you you were pretty,

In the dress that he had bought,

That you were smart when you remembered,

All the things that he had taught.

You came to need those words,

Just as much as you need air.

The way they showed that you had beauty,

Ever since he'd placed it there.

But you didn't see the truth,

The holes the words left in his teeth.

As he used all of the sugar,

To coat the rotted heart beneath.

He revealed to you your beauty,

But made it so you would believe,

That you'd be quick to lose it,

If you were ever to leave.

So you stayed stuck fast beside him,

As you fell deeper for his trick,

Smiling like nothing was wrong,

When the sugar made you sick.

But let me tell you something,

You do not need him to shine.

A boy should never have a say,

On how your worth's defined.

I know you have the power,

To break out of his sticky grip,

For you were beautiful before the words,

Had touched his sour lips."
