I stay


You get angry sometimes 

Frustrated, mean, and cruel.

But because I love you,

I stay

You control, manipulate, and hate me sometimes

But because I love you, 

I stay

There is no trust 

There is no support

You make me feel guilty

So I stay

It shouldn’t be this way 

We should trust, love, and respect

Not break down and destroy

I should leave 

I know you’re not good for me

But because I love you 

I stay
