Still I Stay

 
You let me try for so long                                  
I was there every day,
Hoping you would do the same.
I’m in pain, but still, I stay.
 
You said you cared,
But where are you today?
You promised, I guess you lied.
I shouldn’t, but I stay.                                                     
 
I wait, thinking you’ll be back
But for so long, you’ve been away.
Stop teasing me, please,
Because I will stay.                                                          
 
I want to say I’m done,
And really mean what I say.
You are my drug,                                               
And I can’t seem to stay away.
 
You’re like my home                                                      
No matter how far away,
I always come back,
Knowing I want to stay.
 
You’ve hurt me
I stayed
You’ve left me
I stayed
Alone, hurting, forgotten
I still stayed
I’ve waited too long
Still, I stayed
But no more will I wait,                                                    
No longer will I stay.
