Because I Love You

Take out your phone, turn it off, stuff it under some clothes in the top drawer of your highest shelf
You'll think I'm being selfish,
Telling you what to do, who to talk to, but it's only because

I love you

It's because I love you that I'm desperately yelling at you to
Stop
Talking to her, stop texting him, and 

Pay attention to me

Don't you love me?

'Cause I'm sitting here in the corner, alone
And waiting for you to come back home
I miss you

Don't you miss me?

Don't you love me?

Because I love you

Because I love you and I hate how you're always wasting your time with these people
Forgetting to greet me with a hug, acting so cold and cruel

We're partners, right? You and I?
Throughout all time,

To death from life?

We're supposed to be communicate
Well, I'm here, talking, waiting, but like always,
You're late

We're supposed to respect boundaries
Well, I try to leave when you say so, yet you drag me down
On my knees

We're supposed to support each other
Well, I'm trying my best here, but you can't support a chair
With only one leg
Help me help you so we can share

We're supposed to share

But you're monopolizing all your troubles when you could
Share them with me, listen to me, 

Love me

Because I love you

But you won't listen

You keep your phone, keep it on, sleep with it next to your head
So you could talk to her, text him,

And ignore me

Because you don't see
How badly you're hurting us

Because you haven't looked in the mirror
To see me, see you, hurting

Because you love them
