I’m in a relationship
That’s sometimes hard
The words he speaks to me
Leave me broken and scarred
*
I’m needy today
I might say
Oh, don’t be silly
Be on your way
*
I’m tired
I need to rest
Keep going, you fool
Give it your best
*
I messed up
I couldn’t do it
So what’s new
I already knew it
*
Those are things
That I hear
When I’m broken
And full of fear
*
Why do you stay
You might ask
I stay because
It is my biggest task
*
I must love this person
That brings me down
The one who makes me
Feel like a clown
*
No you mustn’t
You can escape
You don’t have to be a victim
Of emotional rape
*
I can’t run
I can’t hide
This person will always be
by my side
*
Nonsense
You must get away
Nothing should make you
Wanna stay
*
Oh but that’s not true
I’ll never be free
Because
That person is me
*
It’s my purpose
Here on Earth
It’s the reason
I was given birth
*
I must learn to forgive
And mend the divide
Of the good and the evil
That I have deep inside
*
The sting of his words
Are losing their punch
The more I show him
I love him a bunch
*
I’ve blamed my sorrow on parents, teachers
And friends
Until I realized
I must make amends
*
I’ve thought those words
Came from somewhere else
Now I realize
They came from myself
*
It’s easier to love someone
Where there is no blame
I was innocent in all of this
There’s no need to feel shame
*
Love and compassion
Will I show
To this most intimate relationship
That I already know
*
