Because I Love You
Take out your phone, turn it off, stuff it under some clothes in the top drawer of your highest shelf
You'll think I'm being selfish,
Telling you what to do, who to talk to, but it's only because
I love you
It's because I love you that I'm desperately yelling at you to
Stop
Talking to her, stop texting him, and
Pay attention to me
Don't you love me?
'Cause I'm sitting here in the corner, alone
And waiting for you to come back home
I miss you
Don't you miss me?
Don't you love me?
Because I love you
Because I love you and I hate how you're always wasting your time with these people
Forgetting to greet me with a hug, acting so cold and cruel
We're partners, right? You and I?
Throughout all time,
To death from life?
We're supposed to be communicate
Well, I'm here, talking, waiting, but like always,
You're late
We're supposed to respect boundaries
Well, I try to leave when you say so, yet you drag me down
On my knees
We're supposed to support each other
Well, I'm trying my best here, but you can't support a chair
With only one leg
Help me help you so we can share
We're supposed to share
But you're monopolizing all your troubles when you could
Share them with me, listen to me,
Love me
Because I love you
But you won't listen
You keep your phone, keep it on, sleep with it next to your head
So you could talk to her, text him,
And ignore me
Because you don't see
How badly you're hurting us
Because you haven't looked in the mirror
To see me, see you, hurting
Because you love them
