That happiness your face gives me
Makes me feel whole
But it does not mean we must deatach from the world
The happiness your hands give me
I could not ask for more
Because I love you, give me your passwords
Because I love you, leave your friends
Because I love you, I will be your first
Because I love you, do not look at any boy
Because I love you, do not play volleyball
I am sorry, it is time for me to depart
I have seen the person that you really are
Yet, he wishes for me to stay
Pulling the same trick just so I stick around for another day
Because I love you, I hold your hand.
Because I love you, I laugh with you.
Because I love you, I smile through the pain.
Because I love you, I ignore your flaws.
Because I love you, I hide the bruises.
When I first met you,
He had broken my body into fragments.
Scattered my soul to the wind.
And killed me inside with every cold caules word
Society today
has taught all our girls
that bruises are pretty
and go well with curls.
That broken teeth
and fractured bones
are a sexy woman’s way
to bring a man home.
