Why Are You With Him? Poem by Daniel McCann

Why are you with him?
Is what I keep asking myself
why are you with him?
Is what I should be asking you
why are you with him?
Why are you with him?
Why are you with him?
He pulls you from left to right
and still you stay in the boxing match where YOU don't fight
everything you do is to please him
you can clearly see he is playing the game
the good girl goes for the bad guy and then complains
when he loves you that fast he is only going to slowly leave you
when he has already left, because he has never been with you
only there for the sex which he won't let go
using you feels too good
and that is why you suffer so slow
so slow, are you SO slow?
Why are you with him?
He uses you knowing you see an answer to the imaginary clue
to the role play where you are the categorized victim
people on the outside tell you the truth
but you, you REFUSE to listen!
Why are you with him?
Why are you with him?
You want control and freedom
yet you continue to be dumb
why are you with him?
Acting like you are in love with one in a million
imaginary relationships like yours brings fatherless children
why are you with him?
Locking yourself away from the world to him
you give in
choking yourself in the smoke of the small room which you live in
too clever to be naive but naive enough to be clever enough,
enough. Enough. Enough! This, this relationship is no good!
Why are you with him?
Why is he your every second thought in conversation not about him?
How the hell in heaven did you manage before without him?
Why? Why? Why?
Try? Try? Try? And see!
Open your eyes to what is meant to be
and change the direction to what you believe
by losing yourself you'll be finding the truth
its what you need
let the pride make you leave
Why are you with him?
He will never change his ways
look into the box in which he plays
and hear the echoes and screams of a different tune
a different name
Why are you with him?
He is not saying he loves you
it is someone else's room
Why are you with him?
look at your tired eyes
in your reflection see the effects of all his lies
why are you with him?
look at yourself
tell yourself he will come and help
wait for him
why are you with him?
You wait
Why are you with him?
Hes late
Why are you with him?
Hes not coming?
Why are you with him?
Down your cheeks tears are running
why are you with him?
Why are you with him?
Why is he with her?
