Because I Love You
The worst betrayals come from someone you trust the most
Someone you poured your heart into
Someone who promised they wouldn’t hurt you
I told myself this was love.
Let you break me apart and kick me to the curb
Because I love you
I stopped spamming you with messages
I stopped because you found it annoying
Because I love you.
I let myself believe this was love
I had to leave but I couldn’t
Because I love you
I stepped on shattered glass for you
Sharp bloody glass never frighten me as much as your love without you
Because I love you
I tried not to notice how you didn’t have feelings for me anymore
You made it clear at times
Pushing me away
You broke your promise to me
Even when you swore you never would
You broke our promise.
And I know
I'm letting you go
No longer waiting for your good night text
No longer wishing upon the stars for your love
You made me forget I was worthy of love
You had taken my last hope.
I’m leaving you like you left me
Because that’s how you loved me.
