And Yet She Stays

And yet she stays, I don’t know why I feel this way, Frustrated, depressed, mad at the world. Seems the only way I’ll feel better, Is if I take my wrath out of her. I know she will stay, through think and thin, life and death. And yet she stays, As I gaze at the person in the mirror, I do not recognize. I see a monster, a mad man, a coward. It feels as if I'm being controlled by the devil himself, I hear him in my thoughts, Demanding me to abuse my lover, my wife, my future. As many times as I apologize, she’ll never leave me. And yet she stays, With a man whose heart is as black as coal, Whose spirit is taken over by a demon. Her love is the only thing that can save her from me. And yet she says, Whose mind is corrupt and manipulated by the devil. As I strike her, everything goes black, I see nothing, I hear nothing, I no longer exist. “I’ll promise to never do it again,” I say Nevertheless, the madness continues… And yet she stays.
