Why I can never leave

They were so awful to me,

And yet

They seemed to care.

They manipulated,

Twisted,

Hurt,

And destroyed me.

And yet I can't 

Seem to let them go.

Even knowing

How badly they could

Leave me

I can't seem

To leave them

First.

Maybe it's because

I've been there.

Maybe it's because

I see their calls for

Help.

Maybe it's because

I'm too ignorant.

It could be any of these reasons

But I know the truth.

It's because

I love too

Brightly

I trust too

Blindly

And I fall too

Hard.

Now you know

Why I can never leave.
