Because I love me
So… Let me get this straight...,
Because you… because you love me
I shouldn’t frolic about with my friends?
And because you love me
I should wear dresses that go down to my knees
I should do everything in my power to please you,
Because you love me
I permit you to rip me apart limb from limb
I permit you to use me when you want to fulfill your ecstasy,
Because you love me
I am supposed to let you put your hands on me,
In ANY way, shape or form,
I am supposed to let you take your issues and failures out on me
Because you love me
You can play with my emotions
You can forsake and neglect me
Because you love me
You can tell me not to work
You can make me cook, clean and pamper
Because you love me
You can force… NO
I refuse to let you tear me down
You will not be the cause of my failure in life
I will not be a part of this “love”
For this love is not for me
I will not waste my life away
I am worth more
I have more to offer
I am strong and I know that
Love is care
Love is bountiful
Love is unconditional
Love ends…
Never
I will not accept your type of love…
because I love me!
