Because I Love You


You always tell me to leave you because you're insane, yet I don't.

You're split personality tries to destroy the life we built, but I won't let him do so.

You cry and cry the tears of the past, but I am here.

You're scared to hurt me, yet I stay.

Why?

Because I know it's not you.

Because I know you would never hurt me.

Because I know you care for me.

Because I know that this isn't you,

Because I know this is a disorder that you have. 

And why do I still stay?

Because I love you.
