Why Not Leave


Walking away from a life that you have frown comfortable living does not mean you should stay

Especially when he does the things that makes you want to runaway

You stay because that apology seemed so real but that is just what he always says

Sorry?

Fine I will keep living this way

Scared of being alone is something you have always felt 

Looking in the mirror you only see a flower that has welt

Feeling drained and exhausted is an everyday mood fore you 

And yet he wonders why you do not want him to touch you 

He is clueless on why you act the way you do blaming it all on you

In reality it is been something that is been growing in you from the everyday abuse he is putting you through

Your connections with this guy is keeping you tied like an anchor in the water

Making your mind wander

You wait everyday until he comes home anticipating his next mood

Some days you just want to get up and move

But it is not as easy as most whould think

For there are more ties keeping you two linked
