I still let you treat me like sh*t,
Though I know it's wrong and I should quit.
Your words cut deep, leaving scars unseen,
But I stay, tangled in this toxic routine.
I deserve better, I know it's true,
Yet, I hold on, hoping you'll change too.
But in the end, it's myself I betray –
By allowing your mistreatment to stay.
