#becauseIloveyou


You're words pierced me like a daggered edge

Saying you love me day in and out

But your words mean less and less

Because I feel imprisoned just a little more everyday

This is not how it should be, not for you not for me.

I remember the days of opening up and you listening to what I had to say

Can't you recall those day and nights were we could see the happiness

But because I love you I stayed by your side

Lets change the narrative

Flip it around

I know that we can 

Because I love you lets not fight all night

Because I love you we can change our ways, opening our arms for love

A healthy relationships not about building our walls to protect us

But letting those we care about into our buildings of safety

Because I love you I want to be the best us we can be.
