did a voice over for a piece that I wrote a while back, I thought I should share it with you! Head over to her page for the voice over, but I'll be posting the piece here!

Okay, you met a new guy!

Previous relationships have been gbas gbos. You broke off the last one because you knew it was no good, you were in multiple relationships at the same time, because you couldn't be satisfied with one! Although you knew how toxic each one was and how draining they could be, you kept on adding!

Every new partner seemed to run a tighter shift/hold over you! They were abusive, demanding, and never rewarding! It was pure slavery, but it was slavery you couldn't live without, it was slavery you loved!
You loved spending moments with them!

In a way, you were sold to them, and like those slave auctions, you were the treasure most didn't buy because they never saw your potential, so you were sold for nothing!
A giveaway!

And so started your journey of slavery, from one master to another, never totally leaving hold of the former, it was joint ownership!

Jealousy seemed like a joke compared to the way they were towards you, and you bought the lie that ”they must be doing this because they love me”!

"Their tight hold expressed their love!" you thought!

Oh the pain, you endured in the hands of these people makes me cry, makes me want to scream!

You were the ”always in the market” person, and even though everyone knew your active and inactive partners, yes, I said it! Partners!!!

You're the ”Poly” in Polygamy, but people didn't care, you had something they all wanted! You had treasures, you had worth, even though you couldn't see it, they could, and for sure everyone wanted a piece of the cake!!!

In a sense, you were the author of ”Open” relationships.

The New Guy!!!

This new guy was something!!!
He was gentle, calm, collected, thoughtful; always taking the initiative!

He saw your needs, he would bind you broken bones after a brutal beating from one of your ”partners”, he would feed you, treat you like the treasure you are!
