I thought

I thought you loved me 

I thought you held the sky 

I thought everything happened for a reason 

I thought going home with bruises from date night was normal

But Sarah doesn't get them from her boyfriend

Sarah gets flowers 

Sarah tells me you're toxic 

But you tell me you love me

You tell me you do this because you love me 

Everyone says love shouldn't come with a contract 

You shouldn't have to read the fine print 

So, because I love myself I'm no longer letting you love me
