#BecauseILoveYou Scholarship Poem
Because I love you out of the mouth of someone who truly did would mean
I want to help you because I love you
I'm here for you because I love you
I would never hurt you because I love you
But out of yours it's
I hurt you because I love you and
It has worked so well
So well in fact that I have come to believe that if a presence didn't make my soul curl up in fear and my body shrink
Then they didn't love me
In fact, I begged for that horrid guttural feeling of dread
Because that was all I knew
But no longer
Because I love you
Or rather
Because I loveD you
I can't love you anymore
