Why Am I Staying?
A Little Shop of Horrors Fan Fiction poem about Audrey's abusive relationship with Orin
I wonder why I am stuck in this endless cycle
of empty words and lovely gifts
He tries to win me over
but everything ends up in
a battle of words and emotions
He says he loves me
is he messing with my head?
I'm fearful for my sanity and safety
The main emotion I deal with
is dread
I want to love him
but can it be really easy to love
a sadistic monster?
I wonder this everyday
and wish I could get away
How did I get into this mess I don't know?
My only escape seems to be work
at the flower shop
Seymour is the polarized opposite of Orin
so caring and considerate
and sometimes I wonder
Why am I not with him?
