what keeps you there?

the therapist said
once.
what keeps you there.
what is it
that allows you to stay
in such
a bad place
with someone who doesn't
love you,
doesn't care,
who lies
and cheats,
and breaks your heart
each day?
what is it, my friend,
my patient
that you want from her.
is it sex,
is it kindness and compassion,
of which she has none.
why don't you leave?
and i said
i have no answers to these
questions,
only prayers,
but i'm almost there.
