Because you love me

October 5, 2017

Because you love me, you will be trustworthy and I will be the same

Don't kiss my neck, whispering how much you love me if you are texting her when I'm gone

I am not to be treated as though I am a piece in your chess game

I am more than pawn

Because you love me, you will respect my body and my choices pertaining to it

Don't force yourself upon me and expect me to play

I am not a doll who can controlled and forced to submit

I am more than an “easy lay”

Because you love me, you will not hurt me when you are mad

Don't come home angry and take it out on me

I am not to be kicked, slapped, or pushed even after the bad day you had

I am more than the punching bag you see

Because you love me, you will love my folks

My parents are why I am here so if you love me you will love them

They are not be called a bunch of old blokes

They are more the clingy people you condemn

Because you love me, you will follow all these rules

Because I love you, I promise I will do the same

These are a few things I ask of you to not duel

I promise if you can do this, I would love to take your last name
