Love? Ha!


Men will always want to be the one in control.

Yet they do not comprehend the difference of being in control, and being cotrolled.

Coming from the perspective of a female

These men make us feel as if we are in jail.

The cell has no bars.

We get to be free, but we can not reach for the stars.

"Because I Love You" gets used as an excuse.

In reality, it leads to mental abuse.

A females hope for love can only last so long.

It has come to an end "Because I Love You" is beginning to sound like a song.

At the end of the day, that phrase will never have a meaning other than "controlling".
