Better off

by Marisa Lishay   Jun 8, 2004


I've begun to wonder
if I'd be better off
getting away,
going to the place i never want to reside.

although it tears you to pieces,
you continue to tell me
I'd be better off,
so you continue to accept
the fact that your job wasn't complete.

I've begun to wonder if I'd be better off
leaving what i love,
going to reside with the man who gave me spirit.

it tears me to pieces,
to have to accept the fact that i can't stay here,
that i have no other option.

i really don't want to go to hell,
I've been told it doesn't pay to be bad,
i wasn't bad, was i?
well then, why am i being punished?
forced down to him,
against my own will.
all i ever wanted was to be loved,
nothing more.

would i be better off?
or is there another option?

please rate/comment. it means so much.
