Because I love you, I can't stay


Because I love you, You should love me Or at least that’s how I thought it would be I love you deeply without thought or worry Not even you can sway me However hard you push I do not budge However much you hurt me I will not run. Because I love you, You should treat me better But I know you never will My love for you is breaking But yet I still want you. You treat me like I’m nothing But that girl who gives her all to you. That girl you took something from That girl who WAS in love with you. I still wish you the best I still wish to see you win I hope no hurt or pain comes upon you like The hurt and pain you caused me I hope the next one you meet will bring you joy I hope she can do what I could not I hope you love her too. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU I must go, Because I love you, I will no longer let you do what it is you do, No longer will I be nothing No longer will I cry tears you don’t deserve NO LONGER, NO LONGER, No longer will I hurt Because I love you, I see you walk past me and look I stop and think what could we have been if you hadn’t been trying to push me Trying to make up excuses just so you could get where no man has gone before It’s funny to think I wanted to marry you one day but that will never happen I wish I had never met you You try to claw your way back into my life Each and every time I leave But you will not have a home here No place in my heart I will always love you but I will never want you back. Toxins in my lungs like I’m a cigarette smoker Fumes from the illusions you provided, that I simple mindedly followed, I provided you with all the tools you needed to use me, I didn’t know any better. How could I, spouting lies through your mouth and convincing me with you cindy-loo eyes. Deceiving me, I should have known better But the reality is they say do better But I FOUND better Like I said I hope you do well But I’m moving on to bigger and better things And because I love you I’m letting you go Forever and always Sincerely: Regret me
