And Yet, I Stayed So Long.

You encapsulate your anger

So you can shove it down my throat.

We're always the danger

That you will overflow.

It doesn't matter what I say

You don't love me still.

Does it really matter anyway?

I doubt you ever will.

I once thought I was your anchor,

To ground you in your soul.

But, all you have is rancor,

And, I'll never be whole.

So I'll just be that girl,

That never truly stole your heart.

You can be the ruthless world,

That's always tearing me apart.
