How Long Before You Leave Me

I am back But I’m not sure how long You’ve hurt me so bad Don’t know if I’ll ever Recover Not fully. I am always on the edge of my seat Like a bad Horror movie. Will he, won’t he Am I gone, or am I good Hate me, love me Or is it simply indifference? I am always waiting Always wondering Always frightened That you will leave me forever. Family, family, family Means nothing to you, does it? Every time you say good night, I wonder if it means goodbye, It’s never been a question Of if, But rather when. It’s been So long Since you have said I love you. Should I just cut my losses Save myself the trouble And leave You Before you leave me. Goodbye? I know I won’t. You know I won’t. Guess I will just let you kill me slowly. I love you?
