Was my Him
He did things
Horrible things
He said...
He said He could put
His fist somewhere
Where His fist shouldn't be.
He said...
He said He still has feelings for me.
He said...
He said He would always love me.
But why?
Why did He...
Why did He ask her
To do those things for Him?
Why did He ask her
To strip for Him?
Why does he always...
Why does He always talk?
Talk about me?
Talk about the us?
Talk about what used to be?
Talk about what He believes
could still be?
Why does He lie?
Why does He say those things?
Why did He say...
Why did He say I'm sexy?
Why did He say He wants to kiss me?
Why did He say He killed a man?
Why did He say He cut himself?
Why did He say His parents hate him?
Why did He say those things?
The truth is...
I don't know.
I don't know why he did what he did
All I know
Is that he used to be my Him
But now
He's just
He makes me uncomfortable.
He lies.
He cheats.
He used to be my Him.
I want to make this clear: Nothing in this poem was fake.
Not His name.
Not what He said.
Not what He did.
None of it.

    Remember, you've got a friend in me. Anytime I hear about some punk ass motherfucker hurting you, it hurts me, Hon. I'd beat that bitch's ass. I was just so mad reading this piece. I know it is similar/a revised version of the piece you submitted for my #ICBY contest, but shit, rereading it was the worst thing I've done all day. Don't let anyone hurt you, Love, and if they do. That's what I'm here for.

    How are things between you, Zack (zach?), and Aaliyah? Hope ya'll doing better.

    Love you,
    Mina <3

    He seems like a disgusting pig that doesn't deserve your love in the slightest. You deserve more love than imaginable. I hope things get better for you.
    Also..hi again.

    Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! That was an amazing poem, keep writing; when life gets overwhelming and crazy and sad, I know poetry is my outlet to process everything. You're so talented and I can just feel your emotions jumping out from the page. I know I already said this but keep writing <3

    Holy... I have the strongest urge to find you and hug you now. That was beautiful and sad and happy and broken and oh my god I want to find this "Him" and slap him. No one should have to go through this.

    Omg... I knew someone like this "Him" once, and I know how much he hurt people, and it's horrible. I haven't personally experienced this myself, but I can sympathize. I'm sorry you had to go through this. Anyway, I assume you're new to this site, so greetings, I hope you enjoy this community. <3
