#BECAUSEILOVEYOU

I never heard any four words more clearer

crying it over and over as i look into the mirror

the stings on my body serve as a fickle reminder

"the more you keep screaming, the less I'll be kind"... Sir?

even if you feel nothing

and if you raise your hands to me,

I forgive every slap, spit, tear, and knock out

I forgive every punch, hit, push, and shove

I've drained out the tears, I've
