In love, I stayed, though love had flown,
Enduring pain, forlorn, alone.
I stayed, despite the hurting sting,
For parting felt a heavier thing.
I stayed, invested, love ablaze,
While others saw me as a craze.
I stayed, though changed, our bond unsure,
Your warmth diminished, love obscure.
I stayed, though voices urged retreat,
Insecurity, a constant beat.
I stayed, though treated with disdain,
Felt like nothing, endured the pain.
I stayed, though knowing I deserved more,
Hoping love would heal what tore.
I stayed, I stayed, for love profound,
My efforts vast, my heart unbound.
