"Because I love you", you said

You pianted me purple, with a tint of blue

because you loved me.

I was your work of art. A canvas painted with the colors of pain.

You said you loved me while stroking purple against my ribs.

A bit of red on my lip, and for the final finish, black and blue one the eye.

"because I love you", you said everytime you finished.

but did you?

I left a year into the relationship.

It was 365 days after what seemed to be the beginning of the end.

I left you and the city and the state and the country.

I left the world, the galaxy and the unvierse.

I left as far as I could from you

because I wanted to forget as much as I could about you.

Two years passed by in a blink.

I was waking up to someone that wasn't you.

He woke me up with kisses instead of broken dishes.

H gave me flowers instead of bruises.

He was someone that you could never be,

and someone that youll never be.

When the time finally came,

he said those four terifying words, "because I love you",

and I suddenly realized that love wasn't supposed to hurt.
