Because I Love You

Because I love you, I will not hurt you

I will not belittle and discern you

I will not embarrass you in front of strangers around you

I will not harass you around friends who surround you

I will not push and shove you

I will not, because I love you

I will not bruise your skin with my hateful words

I will not use my fists and hide behind The Lord

I will not scream at you until my lungs bleed

I will not, not speak to you out of greed

I will not guilt you into shame

I will not, because I love you

I will not blame you for the mess I made

I will not let your happiness fade away

I will not do these things I say

I will not, because I love you
