I Know, But

For those women who know the truth, have acknowledged it, but refuse to do anything about it

I know.

I know I'm supposed to leave, find a better life for myself. But you have to understand that I'm okay. I'm fine where I am

Things will be better. I know they will. It's only a matter of time. You'll see for yourself You keep telling me it's time to let go Yes. I know it is. But you have to know that he loves me. I swear he does. I know it looks bad when he. hurts me. bruises my body. my spirit. tells me am not good enough. but he only acts that way when he gets mad 

  
You've got to stop giving me that look

 

You don't know all that he's done for me. deep down he's a good man. believe me. I know him, I know he doesn't mean to treat me the way he does. I know his heart, and I know, I know that I'm the one for him

you keep telling me that he's not the one for me. that he who is deserving of my love is out there waiting for me. Yes I know. but how? how do I let go of all that I've known, all that I've loved? how can I let go? 

How do I let go 

Please. I don't want to hear this anymore 

Yes I know its not right. the way he treats me. but

what am I without him? I love him and he loves me, his temper is the only problem we have, and he has promised to change. The bruises will heal. my spirit will be just fine. as soon as he changes

I know he'll change soon. I know he will 

he has to change

for me he'll change 

  
He'll change so I can be happier. feel more loved. more appreciated. he'll change because he cares about me. and loves me like a man is supposed to love his own. I know. he'll change 

yes, 

 

I know I know it's time to leave but

 

i think I'll just stay.
