You common idiom!
Just a manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language.

Why do you feed the hand that bites?
Why do your words speak louder than your action?
Why do you add injury to insult?
Why is your bark on the right tree?

Why are you sad to see the back of?
Why do you accept the worst of both worlds?
Why are you chewing more than you bit off?
Why are you covering for a judgemental book?

Why do you lie over spilt milk?
Why do you give the doubt of the benefit?
Why do you keep something at bae?
Why do you let laying dogs sleep?

Do you not see?
You're torturing yourself
There is no method to your madness,
and your method sure is mad!

That picture paints a thousand words
and the one's you are writing have much more worth!
I know I'm playing the devil's advocate,
but you're off your rocker if you keep beating around the bush.

Don't miss your boat
or you'll miss happiness
A long story short,
another's narcissism is not your riddle to rhyme
A poem about domestic abuse and staying in a relationship with your abuser.
Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviour which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. It may be termed intimate partner violence when committed by a spouse or partner in an intimate relationship against the other spouse or partner, and can take place in heterosexual or same-*** relationships, or between former spouses or partners. Domestic violence may also involve violence against children or the elderly. It takes a number of forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, and ****** abuse, which can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital **** and to violent physical abuse such as choking, beating, female genital mutilation and acid throwing that results in disfigurement or death.
