#BECAUSEILOVEDYOU


When tears rolled down my face as you cheated for the second time this week , it’s only because you loved me?

Or when anger fill my eyes when you tell me to calm down because she is just a friend.

When you first came into my life I thought you loved me.

Now I can’t help but to wonder why I still say I love you.

Now even after years of your verbal and physical abuse, you still kissed my forehead before you go out at night to cheat.

I still wonder how can you say you love me but still sleep around.

I have loved you for many years I still can’t see my life without you.

Many say the jokes are on me for not letting you go but even after all the pressure I cracked on them for telling me the truth.

Losing you is my fear but because I love you I stayed, I know you well enough to know where your anger came from. I’m sorry your uncle messed with you, and your mom knew. Your dad really did love you even your mom knew.

As a friend I couldn’t help so I got close and helped you because you deserved better. I took you in when you left for home, I fed you and clothed you. I comforted you when you felt alone.

Even after seven years I thought the abuse was gone because you found a new path in life. You beat me and broke up with me and left me to survive on my own.

I then found someone who cared about me like you should have. You called me a month later telling me how you missed me and you want a family with me now.

I wondered how stupid did you think I am. But because you loved me you came back.

But because you loved me I should have believe what you were saying.

But because you loved me you killed our first child by beating me. But because you loved me you needed my money and car to go take your other females places. But because I loved myself I said no.
