Because I Loved You

I put up with your condescending words, because I love you.

I will erase my memories because, I love you.

I will make myself smaller because, I love you.

I will destroy my dreams because, I love you.

I can let go of the want to have children, because I love you.

I don’t want to disappoint you, because I love you.

I will let you punch me when you are angry at yourself, because I love you.

I will continue to lay in the bed beside you, because I love you.

I can take the pain, because I love you.

I became numb, because I love you.

I loved you.

But because you made me numb, I can’t love you anymore.

I have no emotions left because you destroyed them.

I have no hope left because you told me there is none.

I gave up everything for you and now I don’t even have you.

But I don’t want you.

I don’t want me.
