Manipulation


Because I love you I will put you before myself.

So you can realize I care about your feelings more than my own.

 

Because I love you I will tell you to put your seatbelt on. So you can realize that I would never want you to get hurt. 

 

Because I love you I will hold your hand in front of everyone. So you can realize I'm never ashamed to be with you.

 

Because I love you I will support you and your goals no matter how high they may be. So you can realize I know you can achieve anything.

 

Because I love you I will only yell at you for a couple minutes at a time. So you can realize I don't want the neighbors to wake up.

 

Because I love you I will put my hands on you. So you can realize me causing you pain will stop my anger. 

 

Because I love you I will call you hurtful names. So you can realize how I actually think of you.

 

Because I love you I will ruin your life in more than one way. So you can realize I wanted to be the last person in your mind.
