"It's just because I love you"

You would say as you kicked me to the floor.

"It's just because I want you to be mine"

You said as you deleted all of my contacts.

"You would do it if you loved me"

You said, shutting the door as I cried no.

"I love you but put some makeup on"

You said, just as I was starting to have some confidence.

I was your lover yet I was on a leash.

You put me through Hell,

And called it love.
