I'll Leave You One Day
How will you ever know
If my love for you is real?
If you scrutinize the things I say and due
does it change how I feel, Yes.
My self esteem you have stolen,
You've stripped me of my will.
My spirit you have broken,
I've become numb and can no longer feel.
For every action , a reaction,
Attraction to you nil.
Intimacy and affection,
More like a chore or taking a pill.
One day I will leave you,
I promise you I will.
In spight of everything thats happened,
I stay with you still
Because your the type to,
If I can't have her, no one else will.
