Because I Love You
A lack of affection and the seasons,
The way they made my feelings change
Shed me of everything
I was gloomy, much like the cold January mornings
The mornings you can barely get yourself out of bed
The mornings you avoid the cold wet dew arranged particularly amongst the leaves
If you were lucky enough to avoid snowfall
The mornings you are afraid to step outside
The world was dark and empty, and I was drawn to him for he was light
Because he asked me and because I was lonely
I fell into his arms after a simple question
Not because I liked him but because I liked the way he worshipped me
Because he loved me he would text me nonstop
Always making sure I was safe, knowing where I would be and when
Like a knight in shining armor guarding me from danger
He made sure no guys could touch me or get ahold of me
Like a treasure, I was pampered and kept locked away
Because he loved me
Because I loved him, I trusted him even when I did not
Such as when he would disappear for hours at a time
But because I loved him I “trusted” him
Trusted him when others found him as irresistible as I did
Trusted him when he would find them irresistible as well
He was as inviting as the smell of baked goods
As intoxicating as them as well as his lips took on the taste of sugar and honey
But he would soon taste bitter
As bitter as black coffee, no cream or sugar
All the rumors of him and others
Ringing in my ears and haunting his deceitful lips
He claimed I was jealous, he couldn’t help being kind
He told me not to fret
I was irreplaceable, his treasure untold
He would never do that
Because he loved me
He had many hobbies
And because I loved myself I left him
He was a treasure collector, collecting as many hearts as he could
Pampering and Isolating
Claiming they were precious
Then finding one more exciting
Leaving that previous one to nothing
Because I loved myself little to none
I still loved me more than he loved anyone
Because I loved me I told him it was not the same as it had started out
Because I loved me I tore him apart
