Death of me


Because I love you, I want you in my life 

but you stab me in the back with a knife.

Because I love you, I want to make you smile
 
even though you have been with her for a while.
 
Because I love you, I will forget about your past
 
though today might be our last. 
 
Because I love you, I will stick by your side 
 
even though I am just a ride.
 
Because I love you, I would jump in front of a bullet for you 
 
but I might as well just turn blue.
 
Because I love you, I will not make you stay 
 
we could really not survive another day.
