Because He Loved Me


L-Life or Death

O-Obsessive or Protective

V-Violence or Affectionate 

E-Ending or Everlasting...Love

His hands that once caused me pain

Brought me to my knees in hate

But because he loved me

I stayed

You may think I'm crazy

But once you've experienced Love

It won't ever be the same

The words he would say

Made my Insecurties come to life

But because he loved me 

I stayed

What is Love when he only brought me pain

An illusion I began to soon hate 

Be careful young woman 

You are beautiful 

Your soul shines like the sun

But the darkness overrides it 

Get rid of it baby

Because if he Loved you

Then he wouldn't have brought you so much pain 

You are worth so much more

Your heart outshines the hate
