BECAUSE I LOVE YOU


BECAUSE I LOVE YOU by Taliyah Phillips-2017


 

You say you love me but  that has nothing to do with why

Why do you  abuse me with your hands and words?

Why is the question I ask.

If we argue let's communicate but you would rather spread your love with your fist.

I don’t  need the diamonds or the money

All

I

Need

Is

Your

LOVE

 

Are you willing?

willing to love,willing to just be there

Be there when I need you the most

 

The only thing that am asking,

Is for you to love me!

Not with your fist

But with your affection

 

I Love You”

Is an 8 letter statement that means nothing

Nothing if your actions don’t match up to what you are saying or think you are saying!
