By your leave

Why did you put up with this much?
You should have left long time back.
But no, being the sweetheart that you are
You insisted on cutting me some slack.

Patient. Kind. Gentle. You were
So much more than I can ever be.
You reassured my darkest fears
And almost made me believe in me.

You should just have stopped long back, my love
Your efforts are all in vain
It’s only harder for me to remember
How to piece myself back together again.
