Because I love you....


Because I love you....I know when to let go so you can spread your wings and fly.

Because I Love you...I will never lay my hands on you and I will never put you down.

Because I love you...I will do my best to make you see the best out of life.

Because I love you...I will always apologize

Because you "love" me...you hold me down and keep me in line with fear

Because you "love" me...you wrap your hands around my throat until I think maybe this time I'll finally die.

Because you "love" me...you remind me daily why my life isn't worth living

Because you "love" me... you always apologize and convince me to stay because maybe next time you will change...
