How Familiar

This story is about the abuse following me from my family into my romantic relationships.

I was raised to believe that love came with a price.

The times I was struck throughout my life, I knew afterwards came the warm embrace and words of affection I was starved of.

With every hit, I waited to be loved.

With every beating, I questioned whether it was passion.

When the pattern presented itself in my love life, I thought of my parents, who had shown me this was how it was.

I thought of how they'd hit me so violently that maybe the flaw they saw in me wasn't just limited to their eyes. 

He must have seen it in me too.
