Because I love You is Not Enough

Because I love you is not an excuse to touch me there

Because I love you cannot be an invite to peel my clothes down

Because I love you should never mean the door should be locked

Because I love you does not make it acceptable to force yourself on me

The phrase has been made to be an excuse

A poison tearing through the body for a victim that heard the same lie

Three simple words once kept for marriage is now manipulative,

only for ones own aching desires

Twisting our brains, shaking our inner feelings, peeling away self love

Because I love you is not enough
