don't go back to the people who continually hurt you even when they promise to change.

i give into

your pleading

every time

my foot is halfway

through the door.

you cry, you beg,

and i come running

back into your cold

arms hoping to

receive the love I

deserve.

you'll change,

I know it—

I pray it.

and for a while,

I feel like God

is on my side,

finally rewarding

me for seeing

past the mistakes

people leave behind.

but,

its the same every time

and i get hurt again,

and again,

until i cannot get hurt anymore.

my foot is

out the door once more,

and this time,

I'm not coming back.

you cannot hurt

those who simply no

longer feel any

sympathy for

the ones they pitied.

i know what i deserve

and its not you.
