Not mine. Just something I scribbled down while I was travelling.

You stay- even when I drive you nuts.

You stay- even when you would love to shoot me (even better; throttle me).

You stay- even when I give you sleepless nights.

You stay- even when I can possibly destroy your career; your life.

You stay- even when I bring tears to your eyes.

You stay- even when I break your heart; again and again.

You stay- even when no one else does.

You stay- even when my walls crumble down.

You stay- even when you see the broken man behind my facade.

You stay- even when my mask peels away.

You stay- even when you know all you will ever get in return is pain and heartache.

You stay- even when you should be out there living your life- being happy, smiling.

You stay- even when you should run away.

You stay- even when I hate myself for making you do so.

You stay because I'm too much of a coward and selfish man to tell you otherwise- and you know that.
