Because I Love You, I Won't

You are worth more to me than bloody knuckles and purple bruises

Because I love you, I won't

You are more important than my foolish teenage desires for intimacy

Because I love you, I won't

May 23, 2013

Dancing, booze, empty room

"Please stop," "Don't," "You promised," "Please!"

BWOP

Stop talking, you're killing the mood

Trembling bloody legs

Swollen eyes

Busted lip

Distance

Are you still mad? You know I didn't mean to. I would have stopped if you had asked

"I'm fine. Please don't talk to me"

No need to be a bitch.

Silence

I love you.

Scoff

I thought you loved me.

Walking away is the hardest part

You're not gonna snitch, are you?

Because I love you, I won't
