I know that we all feel pain
And heartbreak
But that's no reason to tear ourselves apart
For falling prey to abusive relationships
We only stay because
We truly believe that they will change
And even we realize they won't
We hope they will
We feel (we know) they still love us
But that's no excuse to stay
And drown ourselves in
"Why?"
"What did I do wrong??"
Because we have done nothing
But existed as human beings
Loving fearlessly
