I Let Him

You pull me in.

I let you.

You lean in.

I let you.

You kiss me.

I let you.

You pull me closer.

I let you.

You say "i love you".

I say it back.

You get up.

I wonder..

You say "i'm cheating on you".

--------------------------------

I yell.

You let me.

I cry.

You let me.

I fall to the floor.

You let me.

-------------------------------

You say "i'm really sorry baby".

I fogive you.

You do it again and again.

I forgive you..

He must understand i love him.

I must let him go.

He must stop hurting me.

I must leave him.

But how?
