Because I Love You
Love was something that should not be sought
To be pathetically vying for attention
Begging desperately for affection
Who can fix the broken hearted
Save the damned and long departed
Lust has tainted this hallowed ground
When did love become so spellbound
You are desired but intangible
But that is precisely why your valuable
Because I love you
I believed in your vague promises
And I admired you for your dominance
My heart fluctuated for you with incompetence
Because I love you
I let you watch me wilt
To claim you had deflowered and bared no ill will
you’ve tore down the walled that I have built
Because I love you
To let cupid’s arrows blot out the sun
For the grandest walls can always be outdone
To be fractured, sedimented, and forgotten
Because I love you
Star-crossed lovers were destined for doom
A heart is as inconsistent as the waning moon
