Why?
I ask myself.
Why do I tolerate the pain of a loveless marriage,
why do I stand here and cry,
why dont I run to a better place.
Why?
I ask you,
why do you stay when you hate me,
why do you stand here and torment us?
Why dont you leave my son and I alone?
Why, mommy?
Mychild asks,
Why do you and daddy fight all the time?
Why arent you happy?
Why do we stay?
