Because I love you;I


Because I love you;

I will drag you down from the mountain of ambitions & dreams you are standing on

I will teach you that other guys are worse, I am the best you will find

I will unjustly accuse you of actions I have done

I will slice my wrists in hopes you will stay

I will lie, cheat and make you feel stupid

I will buy you rings to show the world, you are my property. 

Not because I love you, silly girl.

I will drown you in abuse, until you have the courage to swim away.

Because I love you; 

I am honest with you, 

respectful and communtative

I am dependble, ambitious

Just like you

Because I love you,

You will not cry four out of seven days of the week

You will not feel stupid or insecure

You will speak your mind without fear of embarrassment

Because I love you,

I will motivate you

I will help you

I will like your friends & family

 I will attempt to enjoy your hobbies

I will be loyal

I will trust you

Because I love you, 

You will learn that love is not abuse.
