Not so in Distress


Love is action, not just a phrase

Love is true, no matter the days

He says he loves me, and he shows me the ways

He buys me gifts and he supports me well

Something is enchanting within this tale

"Because I love you, you have to do what I say

let me touch you there against your dismay"

Hurting me badly, striking me with more than just his words

This love hurts, making a terrible turn for the worst

You never apologized for hurting me

but I apologized to you at least twelve times

For being angry about what I wear and you being caught in a lie

You put me through hell and I called it love

"Because I love me, I will let you go"

My worth and mental health  more

And this time I will be my own hero
