Get Away
She became the tired recipient
of his irrational behavior
He’s up, then he’s down
A relationship doomed to failure
Tolerance wearing thin
Her desire to please had waned
She had to get away
and no longer be restrained
Enough is enough
Her dedication there no longer
What won’t kill you
makes you stronger
Not wanting to drink poison
for him this day
She swore to leave
and him she would betray
