DV conditioning starts in childhood for many women and this is 'love'.

You're a glutton,
for punishment,
don't you know?
stupid girl,
you never learn.
you'd better toe that line.
you whore,
you cunt,
don't you know?
i love you.

my love for you
was,
heaven sent
and,
you're the devil, in disguise.
i don't pay rent
living in your head.

you can try,
to be a rebel,
but this is how
you love yourself,
now too.
don't try to escape me,
if i can't have you,
no one will.
