The Color of Passion

I got you a beautiful bloodred dress

because I love you.

 

I want to spend time with you

because I love you.

 

I spent my whole paycheck on you

because I love you.

 

I bought you a new phone baby,

because I love you.

 

Here is a sparkly red case for your phone, only

because I love you.

 

I know your phone has parental restrictions on, they're there for a reason. It's only

because I love you.

 

Why don't you wear your dress anymore? You look amazing in it, and I bought it for you. Do you not want to look good for me? You should,

because I love you.

 

What do you mean you need space? Don't you love me anymore? I want to be with you

because I love you.

 

Come on baby, I'll drive. Let's go have dinner someplace private

because I love you.

 

Why are you looking at him? Don't get mad baby, I'm only protecting you

because I love you.

 

Who is texting you? I don't want you to get hurt

because I love you.

 

Tell them to never talk to you again, either in person or over text. It's only

because I love you.

 

I need the keys to your car; it's not safe for you out there. I'm only doing this

because I love you.

 

No, you can't go out! Are you crazy?! There are people out there who want to hurt you and our relationship. I'm sorry, baby, but you can't go

because I love you.

 

You can't break up with me! I didn't want to do this to you, but you leave me no choice. You are not allowed to leave this house or have a phone anymore. It's only 

because I love you.

 

I told you to not talk to anyone else. You've forced my hand, baby. Come on, we're going to the basement

because I love you. 

 

You're lucky I love you enough to bring you food and water. Other girls aren't so lucky. You're healthy and happy

because I love you.

 

What have you done, baby? There's so much blood... there's red everywhere... Baby, how could you kill yourself

when I love you?
