Because I love you


Because I love you I can transcend the flimsy barriers of my insecurities. Because I love you I feel a sense of purity.

Because I love you, I  love myself. A love like this is TOO good for my health.

Because this love is so deep I cherish you and your every thought. The endurance of my patience cannot be fought.

Your smile brings bliss and your presence I always miss. 

You're here with me even when you aren’t here, and our bond conquers all fear.

 

Because I DON'T love you, I don’t want you near. For only anger and resentment live here.

You don’t value what I value. You don’t treasure what I treasure. Therefore, we cannot do this thing forever.

Because I don't love you. I don’t want to love myself. We argue and hate over wealth.

I look at you and what do I see? An uninspired guy looking at me.

How can I look you in the eye? When hot tears are all I cry.

Because I don’t love you, heaven has no room for us. We cannot handle any spiritual fuss.

You make my heart clench and the mental and emotional pain leave a stench.

Or is it your fist that leave a mark? It has been ages since I’ve felt a spark.

So, what do we do this for? Why are we here? When I can’t stand the stench of your beer.

What happened to the memories I hold dear?

Can I get a witness? Because Loving you is worse than fitness.

Because I don’t love you I don’t want to stay. Just make room for someone new anyway.

I'm a recovering undercover over lover but he isn’t you. It's him my heart belongs to.

I thought I didn’t love you but because I DO a little. I'm gonna let you go and as friends we will meet in the middle.

I've got some soul searching to do. Because I love you ill release you too.

I believe fashion is a chosen skill. I adore art and self expression.
