“..Because I Love You”


Who ever thought that “because I love you” would be a phrase

Of deceit and persuasion to convince the other to do something for them.

To make a woman or man do what the other wants

“because they love you”

That phrase is just a tool used wrongly 

Instead of one doing a deed for their other

“because they love them”

Its one expecting a deed

“because they love you”

“Because I love you” is not a reason.

It’s an explanation 

An explanation as to why you did it for your significant other.

Love shouldn’t be used to convince or persuade  

Love is a feeling.

Not a reason or a tool.
