Still You Wonder

Written about my ex-husband at the very beginning of our divorce

You hurt me but I won't tell you how badly
You call me names, criticize my persona
And still wonder why I won't come home

You humiliate me in front of my family
Try to discredit me at my job
And still wonder why I won't come home

You tell me you hate me
That I am a bad mother
And still wonder why I won't come home

How long will it be till you realize you've pushed too hard
Hurt me too deeply
How long till you realize
Yours is no longer my home
That you're better off without me, you're better off alone
