In the Name of Love

Love is what some guys say to you into bed
Love is the excuse they use to break it off
Love is how you feel when you give birth to your bastard child, James
Love is his fathers alibi for never seeing him
Love is the pain James feels
Love is why he thinks his dad doesn't love him
Love is the reasons James came to hate him
And love is the main reason James killed his father
