The Good Wife
I could get mad,
break things
shout out names
beat the wall
cut my wrist.
But i do nothing
I sit
swallow pain
hold back tears
Restrain
Never,
had i thought of this
being considered my bliss.
Where i care about you
and you treat me like shit.
I could leave,
pack my things
slam the door
forget my name
forget you and more...
But i remain.
bottled up
with fear and pain.
I Remain.
