We were bare

When you cried,
I almost died.
When you screamed,
I would hide.
Every bumpy road,
I would still try to ride.
I swam every river,
No matter how wide.
But I grew weary,
Because you lied.
Not once,
Not twice,
Not three times,
Or four.
Not five,
Not six,
Not seven,
But more.
And here I am sounding like Dr.Suess.
But I am at wit ends when you keep tightening the noose.
I tried to live with you this miserable life.
But I'm tired I've falling on your sharpened knife.
I got to cut you off,
It's got to end today.
Because, it's not right.
Because, it's not okay.
So I'll shrug of the "I'm fines",
Stop calling you mine,
And I'll take matters into my own hands,
Because it's time for me to take a stand,
It's time for me to care,
Because even the trees recognize when love is bare.
And oh darling how the trees are bare.
