his efforts to own you have reached a peek
and if you don’t leave him your future is bleak.
your loathing rises to save you at last
you walk out the door and he’s in the past.

Ennui
it’s a pointless pattern of heartache and pain
each time he hurts you he’s sorry again
ennui replaces the love that you knew
and deep inside you know what to do

Regret
when you try to leave he’s filled with remorse
and you don’t realise that it’s par for the course.
his claims of regret bring you back to his arms
but once you are there he drops the charm.

Security
at first your love seemed free from impurity
but now you are stripped of your false security
what you thought was love was desire for possession
and he’s crushing your soul with each angry session

Jealousy
in the early days your heart was zealous
but sparks have cooled, and now he gets jealous
these days you daren’t flash a friendly smile
or risk working late even once in a while
