Because I Love You

Because I love you

I will stop drinking

 

Because I love you

I will stop being violent

 

Because I love you

I will stop-

I heard a ping from your phone

Wait was that a text?

Who texted you?

Who the hell is he?

I don’t care if he works with you

Don’t reply

 

Because I love you

You understand why I get jealous

 

Because I love you

You understand why I get so angry

 

Because I love you

You understand-

Is that Thomas from work again?

Why would he keep texting you so late?

What does he look like?

Oh, you think he’s attractive don’t you?

He’s clearly better than me

Talk to Thomas instead

 

Because I love you

I will hurt whomever comes in our way

 

Because I love you

I cannot be without you

 

Because I love you

I will kill myself if you leave me

 

But you understand,

Because I love you
