A Lovers Pain

For I feel my heart breaking 
every careless day we see
Here I am standing 
but you show no care for me 

I have heard the words of progress 
but seen no action done
My ears are growing tired now 
These lies are no longer fun 

I know I deserve better
and so why do I stay? 
This torture my heart is feeling 
telling me to find a better way 

But love is not rational 
so here I remain
Another day might start hopeful 
by the night there’s only pain
