Dear Mom,
Who do you think you are?
Abusin’ me, bruisin’ me
My mind
Hurts.All those words you’ve ever told me,
For the love that died.I had never heardOf almost forbidden loveLike a flower that bloomedAnd then died
He says his love for me is unmeasurable
He watches over me always
We are inseparable
He always has his fixed gaze

noun

I’ll always love you
Peacefully
Quietly
In the warmth of my own heart
Even if it isn’t meant to be
Even if we grow apart
Even if we become different people entirely
Why is it that when I’m with you I have no air?
Oxygen leaving my body, hitting the pavement
Cold
Where was the man I used to love?
Your eyes fiery with desire.
It takes a fraction of a second to
open your mouth and say
"I love you."
It takes a lifetime to recover
when he didn't really
love you.
But you love him,
he plays you against yourself because
I can't pin point the moment
"I love you"
became a threat
When the words that were meant to
warm my soul became
expectations instead
I love you
morphed itself into a
I don’t think
“Because I love you”
Is something someone says
To request permission
To turn back denial
My loneliness paraded within, while their
white lies and excuses stacked as high as their ego.
“I don’t have time.”
If you love me-
you'll delete his number,
you won't reply to him anymore,
you'll stop talking to him
find a different lab partner, it better be a girl.
Because I love you-
Because I love you I was in doubt.
To think it wasn't a drop of poison
To know it wouldn't ravenously consume
You followed me around like a dog that needs water
Becasue I Love you
You are free-willed
Because I Love you
We are inviolable
Because I Love you
It is inestimable
Because I love you,
I’ll be your mirror, reflecting that gorgeous light that you shine when you can’t see it.
Because I love you,
Because I love you,
I’ll be your mirror, reflecting that gorgeous light that you shine when you can’t see it.
Because I love you,
Because you love meI remind myself of your good qualitiesBecause you love meI ignore the several times you've liedBecause
Love is not cruel
and bitter on the tongue
It is patiant and flavorful
you were nothing of the sort
you left my mouth dry
begging for something I could savor
I gave you love in a variety of flavors
"Because I love you" used to have a meaning to me.
The words "I love you" should make my heart skip a beat,
Those words should put a smile on my face,
They should make me feel warm and loved.
Because I loved you, I felt worthless
Because I loved you, I saw myself surrounded by darkness when you were supposed to be my light
Because I loved you, I saw blood on my hands instead of your fingers between mine
As I closed my eyes
I could hear the raindrops sing,
I could hear the wind whistling
“it’s going to be okay”
“it’s all over now”
“it’s going to be okay”
The heat of my tires
Was the blood on my hands
The honest words
Were the smoking gun
The alone I desired
Is twelve too young to fall in love?
I used to believe that.
Had you asked me five years ago,
my view would have been anything but optimistic.
But you broke me out.
She cried for him as he lays on the bed
and had his final breath
Hope he'll be okay, hope he'll have everything
There's broken glass on the floor
When I heard the way my parents fought, I knew
I did not want to love you.
When I heard the things he said to her, I knew
I did not want to love you.
When his fists collided with her body, I knew
Hi, I'm Tanner.
When I was 15, I had my first love.
His name was Chase.
He wanted me because I made him chase me.
It was all about the chase.
Because I love you…
You are the only thing that will ever matter to me.
Because I love you…
I need to see you every day.
Because I love you…
Is it love when he tells me I can't wear my favorite tanktop because it shows off my cleavage? Is it love when he pins me down and says that if I loved him; I wouldn't say no.
Because I love you, you should let me undress you
Because I love you, you should trust my word against theirs
Because I love you, show me your phone, give me your password
Because I love you, spend time with me, not them
Because I love you
Let’s go
Let’s run away for the day
Head for the beach
Ditch lockers for sand and salt and sea
Because I love you
I Will.
I will lift you from the ground when you fall,
Be at your side with even just one call,
