Because I loved you
Location
Because I loved you
I kept quite
Because I loved you
I didn’t fight it
Because I loved you
I did what he said
When he said it
Because I loved you
I am one in five women
Because I loved you
I can’t stand to look at myself
Because I loved you
I cry myself to sleep
Every. Single. Night.
Because I loved
I’m just an object
Because I loved you
my life was ruined
Love blinded my sight
And let my ears
Choose what to believe
All Because I thought
“I love you”
was more believable
Than what you did to me
But now
I love you
Someone who would never use me
Someone who loves me too
And Because he loves me
He would never ravage me
Because he loves me
He promises to never let it happen again
Because he loves me
I feel safe
Because he loves me
He understands when I say “no”
Because he loves me
He gives me everything I could want
Because he loves me
I am no longer broken
