Seen Not 2 Understand

What is love to you? 
I seen to can not understand how you go back and fourth when and another person is 
treating you bad 
you say you hate him, you say he stolen things from you
So tell me again why would you go back to him?
What is love to you?
I thought you said you loved your kids? I thought you said you would' hurt us anymore;
cant' you see I tried my best to help you I tried my best to stick around this time and be a 
good person 
WAIT! HOLD UP! 
I am an good person I'm stronger, wiser and better
You made me realize how focused I was on you
How much I kept letting you put me down; AND you say you help me; how much I was 
missing out on my life, staying to busy sad and crying every night wondering were you ok
What is love to you? 
I'm sitting up hoping this man doesn't kill you because of the threat he made
Do you not get it 
I thought you did
You always turn your back on us but then we turn to  
We turn and don't no who to talk to 
You come back, we come back hoping things are better and that you would come back to 
being mom
STOP!! reality... you are my mom but why must you insist on hurting me and my siblings 
why?
Do you have something against us
People write comments telling me to do this and that 
When I'm not trying to win anything on here just free styling my mind
I just want to be herd and for no one to feel sorrow but look me in my eyes and fill my pain...
What is Love to you?
