Love Leaves Its Abusers

you must have heard
that voice loud and plain
through all the thunder i surrounded you in
and i once had cause
and i once had strength
but i have been selfish
to say the least
i owned up to it
though leaving is a curious way
for you to love me
so my life and my whole waiting guilt
i enclose late with my dues to you
love leaves its abusers
love leaves its abusers
love leaves its abusers
love leaves its abusers
love.
