Why did she stay

Why did she stay

Met 

Two weeks later his daughter moves in 

Never been a step mother 

How does it work 

Givers her all 

Supports and helps this child 

Court comes around

She fights for her 

Is Lied to 

Unappreciated 

Heartbroken 

Trust is lost 

But she loves him 

6 months pass 

Twentysix other women 

Why did i stay 

8 weeks later married 

Found out pregnant with his child week before wedding 

1 year later 

His family are disrespectful 

Why did i stay 

Went through depression 

Daughter is difficult 

Divided families 

His side her side 

Verbal abuse 

Why did i stay 

Trust is lost 

Yet we try 

Where are we going 

3 years pass 

We're still here 

Disrespect 

Why did i stay 

Rude spiteful comments 

Embarrassment 

Belittling 

Putting me down 

Shutting me out 

Withholding intimacy 

Why did i stay 

Tried counselling 

Did it for the kids 

Mind games 

Making me feel guilty 

The crying never stops 

Am I not good enough?

Can I do more ?

Maybe I can change ?

Becomes spiritually aware 

Now I'm "crazy "

Now "It's just a faze"

I find happiness in it 

I find yoga 

He goes to gym 

I watch the kids 

I go to yoga

He watches the kids 

Now we're always apart 

Start to feel what it's like without him 

I become confused 

I ask questions 

I wonder why 

I'm put down 

I'm just "emotional"

Stop crying!!

"Your ugly when u cry!!"

Verbal abuse 

No intent to understand 

No empathy 

Alone

Why did i stay 

Regected

Less quality time 

But I love him 

Does he love me 

Am I enough 

Do i deserve better?

He says I'm never happy 

I'm never pleased

Do i ask for too much ?

Am I needy?

Am I unreasonable?

I can change 

But I love him 

One year later 

Realizes worth 

Realizes I deserve better 

More confused 

Asks for a break 

Sleeping in separate rooms 

I miss his touch 

I miss his kiss 

I miss him

But he's hurt me so much 

Mind battles the heart 

Why did i stay 

Moves out 

He's distant 

I'm crying 

Trying to support him 

I didn't want him to go 

But I loved him

I thought it would help 

Thought we would become stronger 

Appreciate each other 

Find why we are here 

He won't talk 

No eye contact 

Pain grows 

He's fine without me 

I can't need him 

Let him go!

Heart breaks 

But I love him 

Months go by 

We make do 

His smell 

His soft accidental brush against me 

As he hands over our child 

I long for his touch 

Why wasn't I enough 

She gives up 

He's on dating sites 

It's all over 

I keep fighting 

He meets someone new 

They talk alot

Flirting happens 

He goes to her house 

They hang out alone 

The meet one another's kids 

I'm still fighting 

Doing all he wants 

I want him to want me 

I want him to need me 

I miss him

Hes flirting

He's distracted 

She notices 

It hurts 

What can I give him 

He wants to try 

She's unsure 

But she loves him 

Something isn't right 

Something is wrong 

She goes in his phone 

Finds the other woman 

He lied again 

He betrayed me AGAIN 

The hurt again 

Am I not pretty 

Am I not good enough 

What did I do wrong 

Am I a bad wife 

How could he 

What about our family 

Does he care 

Was it all a lie 

He denys it 

"We're only friends"

She's not stupid 

The hurt is unbearable 

When does it end 

She knows she's worth more 

Deserves more 

So why does she settle for less 

WHY DID I STAY 

DESTROYED

EXHAUSTED 

DRAINED

PAINED

WHAT'S LEFT

AND SHE STILL LOVES HIM!!!

Deepandspiritual, first off, this is masterfully written and so compelling to read, I honestly can't remember reading a poem that had me riveted and completely fascinated since 'Cinderalla' by Anne Sexton; certainly not the same type of poem, but they are similar with all the twists and turns...you really show superb poetic instincts here with those short dramatic lines, great movement and tone...pure honesty in this story of incredible endurance and devotion, just as a reader I'm emotionally spent, my hat's off to you, it seems 'wrong' to say 'I enjoyed reading' though I will say that you certainly kept me reading, till the end....seriously good writing, emotive and interesting...cheers poet, (and prays)
