Walk Away

Why do I remain

Every time you leave

You have a temper

You’re prideful

You’re controlling

And you drive me absolutely mad

But I have always understood you

I can see through this display

You would rather bear your anger alone

Than to hurt me with your pain

That your excessive pride

Is really the high standards you set

That your need for control

Stems from a desire to protect

So I do not see these things as faults

I understand your depths
And as much as it pains me

They are the reason
I can’t walk away
