You Called It Love

You asked and asked till “no” gave in

Said “This is how connection begins”

I didn't want to be touched like that

But your eyes were soft, and I fell flat

You told me I was safe with you

While crossing every line you knew

Said love was pain, but I was tough

I thought maybe breaking was enough

You touched like you had the right

Like pressure made it justified

Told me “You’re the girl who was never treated right”

“I’m the boy who was never loved right”

Like that made it okay to cross my line

You called it love

But I call it mine—

What you stole, what you bruised

What you twisted into something used

You gave me highs I can’t explain

Right after panic, right after shame

You watched me freeze and smiled like gold

Made me think that’s how love unfolds

You pushed till I said yes, not want

Your kindness always came with taunt

And when I asked for space to breathe

You made it hurt to leave

You touched like you had the right

Like pressure made it justified

Told me “You’re the girl who was never treated right”

“I’m the boy who was never loved right”

Like that made it okay to cross my line

You called it love

But I call it mine—

What you stole, what you bruised

What you twisted into something used

Didn’t scream, but I still shattered

Didn’t bleed, but I still mattered

You played clean, but your hands were red

Still hear you whispering in my head

You walked away like it wasn’t much

Left me with silence I still can’t touch

You called it love

But I survived

That’s more than you

That’s how I rise.
