Leaving For My Own Safety

You are in a rage of huff Being very strongly gruff The abruptness in your voice Is not leaving me a choice I've been down this road before Knowing what pain is in store If i stay with one more chance You are giving me that glance Thinking eye contact will be Weakening me instantly I have to be strong and not Let you put pain in my heart Like you've done time and again I need my life to begin Without these torturous days Your tempers been in the way Of our happy life together Thinking back I thought whatever Came our way we'd work it out With compassion--you just shout Screaming words right in my face That take me to a darker place Than the brightened one we shared With love showing we both cared I have to leave for my own safety Before all your forcefulness breaks me
