Fear

Alyssa Jackson

You learn to fear love when it breaks you.

He changed me for the worse—

happy by day, hell at night—

I dread becoming who hurt me.

He changed me for the worse.

How could you make me into a monster?

I dread becoming who hurt me;

I need saving.

He took a part of me;

I lost myself loving someone else.

I gave my all to someone who gave me hell—

why didn't I leave?

I shouldn't have given my all;

you learn to fear love when it breaks you.
