"Because I love you, Because I love myself"

#BecauseIloveyou Because I love you it was my fault It was my fault; waking every morning to my own demon I considered my one love. Because I love you; Every bruise, every scar I hid They were under the Sleeves of my own depression. Because I love you Every word and every glance pierced my soul with the constant reminders. I am a failure to you. And Because I love you Each one of my friends disappeared; vanished into a thin cold air so you could take up all my time. Because I love you I lied for you. I lied to my loved ones even when I knew they'd be there forever. I have broken that trust; that bond… With deafening silence that you… created in me. Because I love you I stayed. Even with all voices ricocheting in my head saying not to Though you didn't even know what you're doing yourself.. So that's what you say… But the days grew longer The pain grew stronger… And I knew what had to do. Because I love myself I left that day with out a trace I moved a few good states away I here I definitely will stay. So your harsh hands and bitter words.. Could never touch me once again Could never scar me with unthoughtful pain. And it's Because I love myself That I found my way Through the dark To live myself.. yet another day.
