Because I Love You


The words "because I love you" are lost to me Daddy used them, so did you Daddy told me to hush He said "I'll stop, because I love you" He never stopped dealing or partaking He lied and became a liar to me "Because I love you Shaybell" You told me you'd always be there When I asked why you loved me, you said "Because I love you" You probably said those words to every damn girl you slept with, while you were with me You lied and became a liar to me "Because I love you, my lovely" You both used one word as an excuse to make me listen He used three words to make me belive him You used those same three words to make me fall "I love you" I fell and kept on falling, until I died from impact When I was revived I realized You don't need a girlfriend All you need is a female robot That only says pretty little simple words, "I love you" Daddy loved me, but wasn't strong enough to really stop and get help He didn't know how to parent me He's gone now, but you aren't You're everywhere I go You're even in my head The faux memories of us always take me by surprise How did you do that? You made me love you, somehow It's still a mystery to me But now my eyes have seen through the fog You never loved me the way I deserve to be loved I loved daddy I loved you My pain is a reaction to the action of loving you both Because I loved you, it's hard to love.

This specific poem was very difficult for me to write, due to personal experiences. I am so happy that I was able to finish.
