Because I love me


 After the honeymoon stage the I love you’s turned into because I love you 
He used to say you are my life 
Now he says you’ll never leave my side as long as I’m alive
You by my side and vice versa
 
He says 
I am all you need 
Delete everything 
I am not being aggressive 
I am being protective 
Because I love you 
 
No more social media 
Just lost communication from me to ya 
And yea I lie to you 
Because I love you 
 
Do you think you could lose a little weight?
I wouldn’t want you to go out and be embarrassed 
Your appearance is getting a little careless 
Wipe those tears nobody is hurting you
I am telling you this because I love you 
 
Stay here with me your family is always home 
And don’t forget your dirty laundry stays in this home 
And I swear if you say a word 
Paint won’t be the only thing smeared across these four walls 
This is not abuse just mini brawls 
I am this way because I love you 
 
This 
Is 
Your 
Fault 
You have made me this way 
It wouldn’t be this way if we loved each other just the same 
It’s like you want me to be like this 
You hide your text and even do things 
Wow, with out me ? 
 
Yes without you 
I have had enough
I have grown strong enough
I am leaving, and yes without you 
Oh honey don’t worry it’s not because I love you 
It’s because I love me 
She said 
 
She looked in the mirror and shouted to the top of her lungs 
This is because I love you 
I am all I need 
Don’t delete a thing 
Girl he taught you a lesson 
Protect your heart and receive your blessing 
You are worth more than you know 
You are beautiful from head to toe 
You don’t need likes to tell you so
And remember curves look good on you, don’t let him hurt you  
I am telling you this because I love you 
 
Because I love you 
Because I love you 
Because I love me 
 
Because I love me 
I will no longer tolerate those things 
No more lies
Brawls
Invasion 
Isolation 
Mental Manipulation 
I promise me that because I love me 
Well because I love you
