Why Don't I Love Me?
Because I love you, that’s why I stay
You degrade my being, but I like it that way
I can’t see through the stone walls you hide behind
Digging for gold where there is none to find
Because I love you, I won’t seize to try
I want so badly a best friend, an alibi
What if you are my only chance
That’s why I wont let go no matter the circumstance
Because I love you, no matter how worthless I feel
I can’t imagine loving myself once it’s revealed
Perplexed with the idea of loving my being
I wish I knew how to see what you’re seeing
Because I love you, I hate myself
I burned the pages of all the books on the shelf
Constantly changing in hopes you might say
“Please don't change, I love you this way”
