Why would someone who’s usually so smart
Let someone take over and control her heart

Why would she allow the pain he inflicts
Upon her,which causes such stressful conflicts

Why would she keep being mistreated and abused
When inside she feels dirty and used

Why would she continue to be so forgiven
When he’s altered the way she goes on living

Why would the repeat same stupid mistakes
When with every action, her pride he takes

Why does she seem to take it in stride
but continue to struggle with turmoil inside

Why won’t she get the help she needs
And put an end to his obsessive greed

the answer lies within the guilt in her heart
The guilt that’s slowly tearing her apart

she knows that often she has done wrong
She should have said “No” rather than going along

She feels she has no right to complain
So, she’ll continue to live with the grief and pain.
