Because I Love You


The words repeated

Meant for kindness

Intended to hurt

 

Because I love you

No friends

No family

No life

 

Because I love you

I control

I manage

I hurt

 

These words meant for love

But used to treat your partner

Like a child

 

Because I love you

I care

I protect

But never control

 

Because I love you

I’m friends with your friends

Family with your family

Love what you love

 

These are what these words are meant for

Not to hurt

Not to control

To cherish

To care

To protect
