The Difference.

I buy you flowers and take you on dates,

Because I love you.

I hug you and shield you from the hate,

Because I love you.

I tuck you into bed and kiss you goodnight,

Because I love you.

Whenever you're far away I miss you,

Because I love you.

You smack me across the face and call me a whore,

Because you love me?

You shove my body into the door,

Because you love me?

You interrogate me like i’m a bad child,

Because you love me?

You start acting wild- like an off the walls mule,

Because you love me?

I call bull,

Because, do you love me?

You slap me and tell me it's my fault,

But that's not love.

You yell in my face and call me a bitch,

But that's not love.

I tell you goodbye and I’m not coming back;

Because, I love you,

And, because you don’t love me.
