They say that you've gone crazy
And that your mind is in the slum
When you repeat your actions
But you expect a new outcome
I never thought I was insane
Until the day that we first met
You fought me on every little thing
To the point where I got upset
I told you to leave me alone
But you fought me on that too
You said you were only joking around
And that you understood my view
I forgave but didn't forget
Until the next time it came up
We were at each other's throats again
And I wanted to just break up
"But love doesn't quit" you said to me
"You can't just walk away"
Suddenly I felt it was all my fault
And by your side I decided to stay
The fights grew closer and closer
And slowly got more intense
It got so bad that out in public
Strangers came to my defense
They say that you've gone crazy
And that your mind is in the slum
When you repeat your actions
But you expect a new outcome
They say that I've gone crazy
And I guess what they say is true
'Cuz no one seems to understand
Why I keep forgiving you
And that your mind is in the slum
When you repeat your actions
But you expect a new outcome
I never thought I was insane
Until the day that we first met
You fought me on every little thing
To the point where I got upset
I told you to leave me alone
But you fought me on that too
You said you were only joking around
And that you understood my view
I forgave but didn't forget
Until the next time it came up
We were at each other's throats again
And I wanted to just break up
"But love doesn't quit" you said to me
"You can't just walk away"
Suddenly I felt it was all my fault
And by your side I decided to stay
The fights grew closer and closer
And slowly got more intense
It got so bad that out in public
Strangers came to my defense
They say that you've gone crazy
And that your mind is in the slum
When you repeat your actions
But you expect a new outcome
They say that I've gone crazy
And I guess what they say is true
'Cuz no one seems to understand
Why I keep forgiving you
Hey there everyone, because of the subject of this poem I just wanna take a couple minutes to address abusive relationships and say it is okay to end a relationship that has become toxic and that you do not need to feel guilty about it. Never let the other person guilt trip you into staying with them if you don't feel safe/loved/etc. It is important to take your own needs and health into account. If your significant other is manipulating you/abusing you physically or mentally, or making you feel unsafe then please get out of the relationship and seek help if you need it. You do not deserve that, and I promise you the person is not worth the pain they are putting you through. It may seem hard, but I promise there is a world full of opportunities and people who want the best for you. Things get easier when you are out of toxic, abusive relationships.
Stay healthy and stay safe <3
Stay healthy and stay safe <3
