He gives you
yet another of many
black eyes,
but still
you've chosen to stay,
to weather the storm.
How come?
Lord knows I've seen you
cry many a river over him,
yet you ignore pleas
to flee, to be free
of his poisonous tentacles!
Please explain
the whys and wherefores;
I don't understand it!
What are you holding on to?
Are you waiting
for him to change
magically
from cad to saint?
Why do you stay
and take abuse?
I don't understand it!
We both know this isn't love
It's never too late
to vote with your feet!
Run, poor thing, run
Or at least walk
away... and never
look back!
