Because I Love You...


Everyday I try to make you happy, because I love you.

They told me to leave, but I stayed, because I love you.

I'm blind to see what you did to me, because I love you.

I handle the pain, because I love you.

The purple marks do not mean anything, because I love you.

I will always forgive you, because I love you.

I keep quiet, because I love you.

I do not mind the bad bruises, because I love you.

I'm going to listen to you next time, because I love you.

I'm going to take the blame, because I love you.

I will not call the cops, because I love you.

I will keep this a secret, because I love you.

You buy me gifts everytime you apoligize, because you love me.

You buy me beautiful flowers after every bruise, because you love me.

Or did you love seeing me in that casket laying down in all white?
