Why Do I Love You

The toxins that steal your life away;
maybe the ones that have the sweetest taste.
The things that cause you the most the strife;
may be the very thing to save your life.
Bad choices that hurt others the most
and the reason that we were so close.
Even though you want to push me away
it's that willpower that makes me stay.
All the poisons you choose to take,
ins't the thing that makes my heart break.
The real reason you make me cry is...
is that you don't want me and i don't know why.
