You've verbally hurt me, physically hurt me and mentally hurt me, but the thought of losing you outweighs the pain you make me feel. The first time you hurt me I was ready to leave, but as I express my feelings about you to my friends and family, it made me stay longer than I needed to. Although you've hurt me in more ways than one, it hurts me to hear people speak down on you and make you out to be a monster. I still didn't understand why I continue to stay and then I realize it wasn't love it was stupidity! sometimes we are just simply stupid. I had to realize that this soul tie that we have kept me longer than I needed to. once I stop blaming my friends and family for me sticking around I was able to stop feeling guilty and get up and leave.
