“Well I’d just leave.”
What, as easy as that?
You mean you’d just go
at the drop of a hat?

Take your kids with you,
pack up your stuff,
just walk out the door
when you’ve had enough?

What about money?
“I’d make do and mend,
I’d balance the books
when it came to month end.”

What about stalking,
you’ve not thought this through.
What if he decides that
he’s not through with you?

What about in-laws,
what will they say?
They’re supposed to be family
at the end of the day.

And as for your friends,
will they stick by you?
You’ll find out the good ones,
that much is true.

And if he turns violent?
Have you thought this thing through?
It may just unhinge him,
then what will you do?

You can’t say you’d just leave,
you haven’t been there,
you’ll stop with this nonsense
if you really care.

You can’t say you’d just leave,
you’ve not been abused.
So thanks for your help
but this time it’s refused.

It isn’t that easy.
