I did not walk away, although you said I could.
I did not walk away, though others said I should.

I did not walk away, though damaged to the bone,
I did not walk away, and leave you all alone.

I did not walk away, i couldn't even crawl,
I did not walk away, i couldn't even bawl.

I stayed and listened, with my heart aching so.
I stayed and watched, with you saying go.

The chains that bind us are invisible but real,
some days, those chains are all that I can feel.

I did not walk away, I never even tried.
I did not walk away, for all the tears I cried.

The silent screams within me, the outward trembling hands,
the tear-filled eyes at your words, the legs that barely stand.

I did not walk away from you, I only sat and stayed.
I did not walk away from you, and for peace I prayed.

I did not walk away...
