because i love you

because i love you 

i leave

food out for spiders

i leave

my fears in the dust

 

because i love you

i cry

out your name in exhilaration

i cry

tears of joy from your affirmation

 

because i love you

i hurt

when you are not close by

i hurt

because you dissolve all my pain

 

because i love you

i destroy

my cigarettes and toxins

i destroy

all negativity

 

because i love you

i can

leave/hurt/destroy/cry

because

love doesn't hurt when you're my other half

and i am free to be

whole
