Fight after fight, why do I stay?

Being the one to make it right, why do I stay?

Arguments over ridiculous things

Making my throat squeeze tight, why do I stay?

Holding it together, although constantly on the verge

Fighting the tears to not slip into sight, why do I stay?

Him telling me he loves me, 

Seems to make everything alright, yet why do I stay?

If he loved me, his eyes wouldn't wander

Not even a slight, why do I stay?

Hot and cold, emotions all over the place

Crying myself to sleep every night, why do I stay?

The right amount of love at the wrong times

Rare amounts of delight, why do I stay?

He promised me he would change, I believed him.

Breaking the promise and proving my fright, why do I stay?

Heart being treated as a puzzle, being broken and put back together

Treating it as a toy, only caused my true feelings to ignite, why do I stay?

If the love is real, time will tell for the unspoken thoughts.

Why did I stay.
