Yet I Stayed

We were supposed to be in this together, partners in crime, taking on the world side by side.
Instead you disrespected me
And yet I stayed

You tore me down, lied to me, cheated on me
Nothing but dishonest and disloyal
And yet I stayed

You broke me, isolated me, used me.
I believed I was worthless
You pushed me to the edge over and over again
Waiting for my fall
And yet I stayed

I believed it all
Let it consume me
You hit me, hurt me, made me bleed
Handed my heart back to me in shards over and over
And yet I stayed


You took me for granted
Thought I would be there forever
I would not stay

Our lives forever changed
Never to meet again
I would not stay

We will never speak again
My heart is free
I am gone
