#Because I love you


#Because I Love You A lonely girl lost on her own because I loved you She stuck her pinky out and ignored them screams Because I loved you She watched you fade but hid in the shade Because I loved you She was the silencer who turned her cheek And let you hurt but kept it discreet She hid yo secret like hide and seek And until the sun came didn’t mention a peek Because I loved you But now she miss you too…. A broken hearted girl Invisible to the eye walk with her taped up bruises Because I loved you She scream and shout but never showed out Because I love you She’s “That’s so Raven” when she look at you And turn you into glass she see right through because I love you She’s that lost little girl hidden behind the door With that open book Because I love you But afraid of her own shadow and voice With a teddy bear who watch but make no noise Because I love you But do she trust you…. She’s an empty tear But when you’re near she’s a spring flower blooming Because I love you She wipe yo face and kiss yo saggy cheek She changes you and bring you food to eat Because I love you She bring home to you since you can’t return And sing your favorite blues to take you long home Because I love you She turn the skimpy north into the dirty south And yell praise the lord With a closed mouth Because I love you But she wish you’d return home… She’s a 17 year old girl Surrounded by billions of people and so alone Wiping her lonesome tears Because I love you She goofy and funny and always one hunnit As she cuddled herself and shake She’s bright as day as an alien would say As she grab her bags she starts to say Yes she love and always will But like The spinners say “You gotta be a fool to learn that love don’t love nobody” And then she turned and walked away But it was because…. I love you
