To Stay

he stared out his window every night
afraid he might come again
torment what was done to him 

pain is the scar that couldn't seem to leave 
darkness and sadness became his two best friends
the wepts on his body and bruises in places
i can not repeat 

by the guy who in his eyes was suppose to love
and protect him no matter
the one that is suppose to love you can't hurt you
is what he thought

blankly he continued to stare at that window hoping
deep down the heartache and betrayal he had faced 
would not stay

it began to rain and the droplets fell against 
the window
he stared at the droplets like they could save him
but to his dismay the man was to stay
