Because I Love You


When do you cross the line?

From interested and caring to protective,

From protective to controlling,

from controlling to abusive.

 

How do we know what’s right?

We know through our comfort,

We know through self-understanding,

We know because we know ourselves.

 

Stop the abuse,

Educate others on signs of emotional control,

And begin protecting those around you.

 

“Because I Love You” is not an excuse and it never will be.
