Settling

Settling Is it you holding onto the one you love and can’t let go Is it you turning your back on the things you see wrong in the relationship Is it you pretending to be someone you are not to please the one you love Is it you changing to please the one you love Is it you holding back the tears when you know the one you love is lying to you Is it you crying while making love to a cheater Is it you silently crying to yourself every night Is it you sleeping with a broken heart Is it you dying inside Yes that’s Settling

drop the last line. I liked it, honest and expressive. So my question is, do you leave kids, tear apart the home for the pursuit of love? When we picked a poor partner.
